The sacrum fused with first caudal vertebra and ilium of a male German shepherd were observed macroscopically. The sacrum and first caudal vertebra were fused, however caudal articular process of the sacrum separated from the cranial articular process of the first caudal vertebra. On the other hand, partial fusion were also observed between the sacrum and ilium. The sacrum and ilium were fused from the cranioventral part of the sacropelvic surface in the wing of ilium to the lateral part of the right cranial articular surface in the sacrum.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to observe the effect of Bong (a type of stick which is called bong) Chuna manual therapy (CMT) on the correction of posterior inferior (PI) ilium deviation, and evaluate changes of pain intensity and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) for the treatment of low back pain. Methods : We measured leg length inequality (LLI), as an indicator of correction of PI ilium, before and after the Bong CMT twice immediately, and also checked the change of LLI in the course of 10 times of treatment. Ten times of Bong CMT with oriental medical treatment, such as acupuncture and bee venom pharmacopuncture, were performed not only to correct the PI ilium deviation but also to alleviate pain. Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and Oswetry Low-back Pain Disability Index (ODI) score were scored to evaluate the pain and function of low back. Results : In this study, LLI was decreased in general while we performed correction of PI ilium deviation immediately, also effectively decreased comparing between before and after 10 times of Bong CMT, Bong CMT with oriental medical treatment improved pain and function of low back. Conclusions : These results suggest that Bong CMT may be an effective method for the correction of PI ilium deviation. However more rigorous study should be followed because of small cases report.

Because of it's accessibility and the quantity of bone available, the ilium is a common donor site for autogenous cancellous, cortical, and corticocancellous grafts to the facial skeleton. Especially, the anterior iliac crest has been the traditional source of pelvic bone for autogenous bone grafting in the maxillofacial skeleton. Recently the need for large amounts of bone in some reconstructive procedures of the facial skeleton has led to the evaluation of posterior ilium. The posterior approach to the ilium is superior to the anterior approach when large quantities of cancellous bone are required for facial reconstruction. The posterior approach has the advantages of more available bone, fewer complications, less postoperative pain, less disturbance in ambulation, and a possible reduction in the length of hospitalization. As the posterior approach affords an almost unlimited amount of bone for autogenous grafting in the maxillofacial region, we feel its use is indicated when very large amounts of bone are required.

The sacrum fused with ilium in a chinese water deer (Hydropotes inermis) was observed. The sacrum consists of four sacral vertebrae which was fused each other. In the ventral part of the fused pelvis, on the left, there was a 20.19 mm gap at the dorsolateral part of the sacroiliac articular part which is in between the promontory and the cranial border of the first ventral sacral foramen. On the right, there was a 14.34 mm gap at the dorsal part of sacroiliac articulation. In the dorsal view of the fused pelvis, the wing of sacrum and the wing of ilium were fused tightly, so that the boundary of the two bones was not recognizable. The left and right second dorsal sacral foramina and the third dorsal sacral foramen on the left were small. The third dorsal and ventral sacral foramina on the right were not formed.

This study is to stimulate the model of which top notch muscle stimuli physical therapy has been made on the basis of GCM. GCM has been studied on the hypermobility & hypomobility pattern on the part of spine & extremity, and the body characteristics of four body types, which is the tilting of seal scapular & ilium. The purpose of this study is to analysize the type of GCM which has been focused on the spine & extremity for the patients having dysfunctions of neuromuscular system, being analysized the movement. The result of this study is as following; 1) The First hypothesis: The hypermobility & hypomobility pattern assorted by the tilting of scapular & ilium, as does the former study analysize was claimed that it would be in line with the pattern for hypermobility hypomobility and physical characteristics according to each body type at the percentage of at least 60(p<.001). 2) The 2nd hypothesis : Stimuli therapy of muscle dealing with physical characteristics and joint hypermobility hypomobility has the important role in restoring the deformity and keeping anatomical postural plumb alignment also it would a highly effects on correcting the body even though the stimuli area was limited to four areas and it was lack of time compared with those applied by general physical therapy(p<.001). As above the result, the top-notch type for physical therapy based on hypermobility hypomobility pattern by 4 body types which has been studied on tilting of scapular & ilium is more specificed and specialized than those of general physical therapy technologies. So this study will be believed to dedicate to restoration ideal anatomical postural plumb alignment based on spinal Manipulation and the concept of whole person as well as to being simple and effective to apply.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of low back pain(LBP) and pelvic displacement on foot orthosis. Before and after experiments were designed to compare the effect. 21 LBP patients who were the subjects diagnosed of applying foot orthosis for 3 weeks after, investigated about pelvic obliquity angle, displacement of ilium, lumbo-sacral angle by x-ray test which is one of pelvic displacement tests, visual analogue scale is used for LBP measurement. The result show the followings; First, Pelvic obliquity angle was significantly reduced after applying foot orthosis compared before using it(p<.05). Second, Displacement of ilium was significantly reduced after applying foot orthosis compared before using it(p<.05). Third, Lumbo-sacral angle was significantly reduced after applying foot orthosis compared before using it(p<.05). Fourth, LBP was significantly reduced after applying foot orthosis compared before using it(p<.05). This study tries to suggest new LBP treatment to reduce pelvic displacement by apply foot orthosis. In conclusion, foot orthosis reduces pelvic obliquity angle, displacement of ilium, lumbo-sacral angle and also decrease LBP. Further more, It needs of biomechanical study which can recognize relation between foot arch and pelvic displacement. This study will serve as a clinically useful data for diagnosis and treatment of LBP and biomechanical analysis of lower limb.

PURPOSE: This study examined the effects of wall-squat with short-foot exercise on pain, dysfunction, and pelvic alignment in chronic low back pain patients. METHODS: Thirty outpatients diagnosed with chronic low back pain and pronated foot were enrolled in this study. The patients were divided randomly into a wall-squat with short-foot exercise group (WS; n = 15) and a normal wall-squat exercise group (NW; n = 15). These groups performed their respective exercises 15 times, for three sets, three times a week over six weeks. The visual analogue scale (VAS) was used to measure the subjects' pain, and the Roland-Morris disability questionnaire (RMDQ) was used to measure the subjects' dysfunction. A navicular drop test (NDT) was used to measure the subjects' arch height. To assess the patients' pelvic alignment, their lordosis, sacral tilt, lumbar width, sacral width, ilium length, and ilium width were measured by X-ray imaging. RESULTS: Both the WS and NW groups exhibited significant decreases in their VAS and RMDQ scores after exercise (p < .05). The WS group exhibited significant increases in their arch height (p < .05). Significant differences in the VAS, sacral tilt, sacral width, and ilium length were observed between the WS and NW groups (p < .05). CONCLUSION: These results suggest that wall-squat exercise is effective in decreasing the level of pain and dysfunction in chronic low back pain patients. In addition, the wall-squat with short-foot exercise is considered more effective in improving the pelvic alignment than without short-foot exercise. This can be an effective method for the non-pharmacological and non-surgical treatment of chronic low back pain
