A Study on Pelvic Girdle Function Assessment and Treatment

골반의 기능평가 및 치료에 관한 고찰

The correlation between mobility abnormalities and positional findings(pelvic asymmetry) is essential for complete pelvic girdle evaluation. For mobility tests, there are four tests include : 1. Standing forward bending test. 2. Seated forward bending test. 3. Posterior anterior sacral pressures. 4. Kinetic test. To determine specific pelvic dysfunction, positional findings should bo assessed with bony landmarks. According to the assessment findings, the suggested order of treatment is as follows. 1. Pubic malalignment. 2. Sacroiliac dysfunction. 3. Iliosacral dysfunction. Many of the pelvic dysfunctions will respond to the simplified approach as shown in this paper but some dysfunctions will require more specific treatment.
