purpose this study was performed to assess and compare the effects of pilates exercise on flexibility and lumbo-pelvic movement control between the pilates training and control groups. methods a randomized single-blinded controlled design was utilized in the study. forty healthy male and female volunteers (mean age 31.65±6.21 years) were randomly divided into pilates-based training (20 subjects...

purpose this preliminary study aimed to determine the intrarater reliability of the quantitative tests for the study of non-specific low back pain. methods test-retest reliability of the measurements of ratio data was determined by an intraclass correlation coefficient (icc), standard error of measurements (sems), coefficient of variation (cv), and one-way repeated measures anova using the valu...

Pelvic fractures are classified according to the stability of the pelvic ring. Unlike stable pelvic fractures, which heal without complications, unstable fractures may lead to pelvic ring deformities, which cause severe complications. An orthopedic surgeon must determine the stability of the pelvic ring by radiography and physical examination of the patient in order to ensure early, prompt trea...

This study aims to evaluate the biomechanical mechanism of pelvic ring injury for the stability of pelvis using the finite element (FE) method. Complex pelvic fracture (i.e., anterior column with posterior hemitransverse lesion) combined with pelvic ramus fracture was used to evaluate the biomechanics stability of the pelvis. Three FE fracture models (i.e., Dynamic Anterior Plate-Screw System f...

A primary function of the pelvis is to transfer the loads generated by body weight and gravity during standing, walking, sitting and other functional tasks. How well this load is managed dictates how efficient function will be. The word ‘stability’ is often used to describe effective load transfer and requires optimal function of three systems: the passive (form closure), active (force closure)...

Acute traumatic pelvic ring instability causes severe pain and associated hemorrhage. Circumferential pelvic sheeting provides patient comfort and noninvasive, rapid, and temporary pelvic ring stability. A bed sheet is readily available, inexpensive, easily applied around the pelvis, and disposable.

OBJECTIVES The objectives of this study were to investigate the influence of pelvic belts on the stability of the pelvis and to discuss the treatment of peripartum pelvic instability. STUDY DESIGN In six human pelvis-spine preparations, sagittal rotation in the sacroiliac joints was induced by bidirectional forces directed at the acetabula. Weight-bearing was mimicked by the application of a ...

A cute hemiparesis can develop in response to a variety of cerebral diseases including intracerebral hemorrhage and ischemic stroke, Pelvic stability training is an exercise protocol designed based on neurophysiological biomechanical aspects pelvic the performance each patient so as increase stability. carried out for 30 minutes, 3 times per week, weeks. (PST) exercises have been shown improve ...

HYPOTHESIS Old age predicts reliably the presence of pelvic bleeding, requiring angiographic embolization (AE) among blunt trauma patients with major pelvic fractures. DESIGN Four-year prospective observational study (April 1, 1999, to May 31, 2003). SETTING Academic level I trauma center practicing AE liberally. PATIENTS Regardless of hemodynamic stability or the absence of a blood trans...
