The Influence of Pelvic Adjustment on the Posture of Female University Students
نویسنده
چکیده
[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of pelvic adjustment via the Gonstead Technique on the posture of female university students. [Subjects] The subjects of this study were 30 female university students who were equally and randomly allocated to a pelvic adjustment group, an experimental group, and a stretching group, a control group. [Methods] Using BackMapper, their trunk inclination (TIN), trunk imbalance (TIM), pelvic position (PPO), pelvic torsion (PTO), pelvic rotation (PRO), and position of their scapulae (PSA) were evaluated. [Results] The adjustment group obtained significant results in TIM, PPO, PTO, and PSA, while the control group obtained no significant results for any items. [Conclusion] Pelvic adjustment via the Gonstead Technique may be applied as a method to correct the posture of average adults.
