DYSFUNCTION OF SACROILIAC JOINT IN PATIENTS WITH SCOLIOSIS AND ITS CONNECTION WITH THE SETTING OF THE PELVIS
Journal Title: Issues of Rehabilitation, Orthopaedics, Neurophysiology and Sport Promotion-IRONS - Year 2012, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Objective: The purpose of the work was to evaluate the function of the sacroiliac joint in patients with scoliosis and to define the dependency between possible dysfunction and the setting of the pelvic space. Material: 68 patients with diagnosed idiopathic scoliosis in the 7 - 21 years age group Method: Examination included interview and clinical examination. Sacroiliac joints function was evaluated on the basis of 5 movement tests and pelvic symmetry performed with the use of inclination meter. On this basis pelvic setting type is defined. Results: Dysfunction of sacroiliac joint is noted in 54% of patients with scoliosis. 3% of patients in the studied group have a completely symmetrically placed pelvis. Analysing the connection between the occurrence of dysfunction of the discussed joint and in particular types of pelvic setting, no significant dependencies were confirmed. Neither was a connection found between dysfunction and other variables. Conclusions: Regarding the lack of noting of significant dependencies it is supposed that connections with presence or lack of dysfunction should be sought in very complex models rather than in single function mechanisms.
