“…The reference line made it possible to set the goniometer laser beams during the measurement, to optimize the accuracy. Measurements of the lumbar spinal sagittal position using the Debrunner kyphometer (Protek AG, Bern, Switzerland), were carried out as described by Todd et al 24 – 26 PT was measured clinically using the PALM palpation meter (Performance Attainment Associates, St Paul, MN, USA) as previously described by Todd et al and Azevedo et al 26 , 27 The anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) was palpated anteriorly to the most superior prominent protrusion of the iliac crest and the posterior superior iliac spine (PSIS) was palpated posteriorly to the most prominent protrusion of the iliac crest. The caliper tips, of the PALM palpation meter, were placed on ASIS and PSIS and firmly compressed as suggested by Gajdosik et al 28 and the angle of PT was measured on both sides and recorded in degrees.…”

BackgroundCurrent knowledge of the effect of changes in posture and the way cam morphology of the hip joint may affect hip range of motion (ROM) is limited.PurposeTo determine the effect of changes in pelvic tilt (PT) on hip ROM and with/without the presence of cam.Study designThis was a cross-sectional study.Materials and methodsThe hip ROM of 87 subjects (n=61 young elite skiers, n=26 nonathletes) was examined using a goniometer, in three different seated postures (flexed, neutral, and extended). The hips of the subjects were further subgrouped into cam and no-cam morphology, based on the magnetic resonance imaging findings in the hips.ResultsThere was a significant correlation between the hip ROM and the seated posture in both extended and flexed postures compared with the neutral posture. There was a significant decrease in internal hip rotation when the subjects sat with an extended posture with maximum anterior PT (p<0.0001). There was a significant increase in internal hip rotation when the subjects sat with a flexed posture with maximum posterior PT (p<0.001). External rotation was significantly decreased in an extended posture with maximum anterior PT (p<0.0001), but there was no difference in flexed posture with maximum posterior PT. The hips with cam morphology had reduced internal hip rotation in all three positions, but they responded to the changes in position in a similar manner to hips without cam morphology.ConclusionDynamic changes in PT significantly influence hip ROM in young people, independent of cam or no-cam morphology.

ZusammenfassungPathologien des tiefen Rückens, der Becken- sowie Knie- und Hüftgelenke werden immer wieder mit einer Messung der Beinlänge und Feststellung einer Beckenasymmetrie in Verbindung gebracht. Aufgrund dieser Messungen werden therapeutische Wege eingeschlagen. Zu diesem Thema wurden auf der Basis einer systematischen Literatursuche in zwei maßgeblichen Datenbanken 28 Artikel ermittelt. Die inhaltliche Analyse beschäftigt sich v. a. mit der Variationsanatomie des Beckens sowie der Reliabilität palpatorischer und apparativer Bestimmungen von knöchernen Referenzpunkten am Becken. Hieraus ergeben sich maßgebliche Erkenntnisse: Eine Variationsanatomie des Beckens ist häufig und kommt auch bei nichtsymptomatischen Personen vor. Die palpatorische und apparative Bestimmungen der knöchernen Referenzpunkte sind gering bis moderat reliabel. Der Rückschluss von einer festgestellten Beckenasymmetrie auf den Einfluss bestehender oder noch zu erwartender Rücken‑, Hüft- oder Beckengelenkbeschwerden ist nach derzeitiger Studienlage zumindest umstritten und daher nicht empfehlenswert.

Objective: To compare the pelvic alignment among never-pregnant women, pregnant women, and postpartum women. Methods: A total of 177 nulliparous women (mean age, 18.9 ± 1.0 years), 45 pregnant women between the third and tenth month of pregnancy (mean age, 29.4 ± 3.8 years), and 124 primiparous women between the first and sixth months after delivery (mean age, 30.1 ± 4.4 years) were enrolled in this study. Pelvic alignment was measured by using the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) and posterior superior iliac spines (PSIS) as landmarks. The bilateral difference of pelvic tilt was defined as pelvic asymmetry (PA), the distance between bilateral ASIS was defined as the anterior width of the pelvis (AWP), and the distance between the bilateral PSIS was defined as the posterior width of the pelvis (PWP). Results: PA of the pregnant group and postpartum group were significantly greater than the never-pregnant group (2.8 ± 2.4°, 4.2 ± 3.0°, and 3.7 ± 3.2°, respectively, p < 0.001). AWP of the pregnant and postpartum group was wider than the never-pregnant group (24.9 ± 0.3 cm, 24.1 ± 0.1 cm, and 23.6 ± 0.2 cm, respectively, p < 0.001). PWP of the pregnant and postpartum group was narrower than the never-pregnant group (8.2 ± 0.3 cm, 8.6 ± 0.1 cm, and 9.2 ± 0.1 cm, respectively, p = 0.008). In the multivariate regression analysis using never-pregnant women as the reference, pregnant and postpartum women were significantly more likely to have greater PA (β = 0.156, 0.156), wider AWP (β = 0.116, 0.202), and narrower PWP (β =-0.132,-0.147) than never-pregnant women. Conclusions: We found that the alignment of the pelvis was different among never-pregnant, pregnant, and postpartum women. Jour n a l o f W om ens H e a lt h Ca re
