Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate change of path length center of body on sacroiliac joint mobilization. The subjects were consisted of sixty healthy adult two decade(28 females. 32 males; mean aged 22.2) from 20 to 29. All subjects randomly assigned to the control group, sacroiliac joint mobilization group. sacroiliac joint mobilization group received sacroiliac joint mobilization for 2-3 minutes per day and three times a week during 3 weeks period. The study carried out to determine the change of path length center of body on sacroiliiac joint mobilization from July 1, 2004 through september 30, 2004. Active balancer(SAKAI EAB-100) was used to measure equilibrium ability. All measurements of each subjects were measured at pre-experiment and post-experiment. The results of this study were summarized as follows: 1. The WPL of control group, sacroiliac joint mobilization group was no significantly differences at pre-experiment but significantly reduced post-experiment(p<.05). The results of analyzed effects of WPL was significantly reduced between experiment type of control group, sacroiliac joint mobilization group according to pre-experiment and post-experiment(p<.05). 2. The UPL of control group, sacroiliac joint mobilization group was no significantly differences at pre-experiment but significantly reduced post-experiment(p<.05). The results of analyzed effects of UPL was significantly reduced between experiment type of control group, sacroiliac joint mobilization group according to pre-experiment and post-experiment(p<.05). Conclusionally these data suggest that a 3-week S-I joint mobilization improved equilibrium. Additional randomized controlled trials to more fully investigate treatment effects and factors that may mediate these effects are needed.
