Pelvic Imbalance

Paper Summary:

This study attempts to prove the hypothesis that the maintaining factor in many patients' idiopathic musculoskeletal pain (MSP) syndromes can be linked to an imbalance in the pelvic structures. The paper further attempts to determine whether poor physical therapeutic outcome measures could be directly related to this pelvic imbalance and what sort of treatment must be undertaken in order to improve therapeutic outcomes. The paper concludes that improved treatment outcomes for patients with MSP syndromes can best be achieved by providing global treatment through an integrated model that incorporates myofascial and joint manipulation and the establishment of optimal pelvic functional balance.

From the Paper:

"Troyanovich states normal erect human posture under the control of static equilibrium, dictates a true vertical spine in the anterioposterior and lateral views. In the lateral view, normal posture is defined as balance about a coronal line of gravity line that passes through the external auditory meatus, a point just anterior to the acromioclavicular joint, while slightly posterior to the center of the knee and through the lateral melleoli and talus of the ankle joints."
