Open Chain Segmental Control, Closed Chain Segmental Control, Spinopelvic Angles, Asymptomatic Subjects. Purpose: This study aimed to measure of spinopelvic angles after application of open chain segmental control exercises versus closed chain segmental control exercises, pre and post application. Method: Twenty eight participants were randomly divided into two groups, groups A and B. Group A (n=15) received open chain segmental control exercises for four weeks. Group B (n=13) received closed chain segmental control exercises for four weeks. X-Ray and Corel draw software were used to evaluate participants' pelvic angles, pre and post-treatment. Methods: spinopelvic angles were measured before and after treatment in both groups. Spinopelvic angles were pelvic tilt (PT), pelvic incidence (PI), sacral slope (SS) and lumbar lordosis (LL). Results: There were changes in angles of spinopelvic parameters in both groups. The significant difference in pelvic tilt was shown in group "A" while there was a significant difference in pelvic incidence angle in group "B". Conclusion: Both open chain segmental control exercises and closed chain segmental control exercises showed a significance difference before and after application in spinopelvic angles.
