After lumbar fusion, changes of lumbopelvic sagittal parameters from standing to sitting would be restricted. Adjacent segment lordosis could partially compensate for this restriction. For patients with lumbosacral fusion, postoperative functional limitations due to lumbar stiffness were related to age and the postoperative ∆PT from standing to sitting.
