Effects of Inclined Treadmill Walking on Pelvic Anterior Tilt Angle, Hamstring Muscle Length, and Trunk Muscle Endurance of Seated Workers with Flat-back Syndrome.
Journal of Physical Therapy Science, 2014Co-Authors: Min-hee Kim, Wongyu YooAbstract:[Purpose] This study investigated the effects of inclined treadmill walking on Pelvic Anterior Tilt angle, hamstring muscle length, and back muscle endurance of seated workers with flat-back syndrome. [Subjects] Eight seated workers with flat-back syndrome who complained of low-back pain in the L3–5 region participated in this study. [Methods] The subjects performed a walking exercise on a 30° inclined treadmill. We measured the Pelvic Anterior Tilt angle, hamstring muscle length, and back muscle endurance before and after inclined treadmill walking. [Results] Anterior Pelvic Tilt angle and active knee extension angle significantly increased after inclined treadmill walking. Trunk extensor and flexor muscle endurance times were also significantly increased compared to the baseline. [Conclusion] Inclined treadmill walking may be an effective approach for the prevention or treatment of low-back pain in flat-back syndrome.

Effects of Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation Stretching and Kinesiology Taping on Pelvic Compensation During Double-Knee Extension.
Journal of Human Kinetics, 2015Co-Authors: Seung-woong Lee, Junghoon LeeAbstract:Shortened hamstrings are likely to restrict the Anterior Pelvic Tilt and induce a slumped posture due to the posterior Pelvic Tilt. This study was conducted to compare the effects of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) stretching and modified Anterior Pelvic Tilt taping (APTT) on hamstring shortness-associated Pelvic compensation while executing seated double-knee extension. Male college students (28 healthy young adults; mean age: 21.4 ± 2.1 years) with hamstring shortness were recruited as study subjects and randomly assigned to either the PNF stretching group (control group) or the APTT group (experimental group). In all the subjects, changes in the movement distance of the centre of gluteal pressure (COGP) as well as rectus abdominis (RA) and semitendinosus (SEM) muscle activities were measured during seated double-knee extension while the respective intervention method was applied. Both groups showed significant decreases in COGP distance and RA muscle activity compared with their respective baseline values (p < 0.05), however, no significant changes were observed in SEM muscle activity. We can infer that not only a direct intervention on the hamstring, such as PNF stretching, but also a modified APTT-mediated Pelvic intervention may be used as a method for reducing Pelvic compensation induced by hamstring shortness.

Application of posterior Pelvic Tilt taping for the treatment of chronic low back pain with sacroiliac joint dysfunction and increased sacral horizontal angle
Physical Therapy in Sport, 2011Co-Authors: Junghoon Lee, Wongyu YooAbstract:Abstract Objective Kinesio Taping (KT) is a therapeutic method used by physical therapists and athletic trainers in combination with other treatment techniques for various musculoskeletal and neuromuscular problems. However, no research has evaluated the effect of KT in patients with low back pain (LBP). The purpose of this case was to describe the application of posterior Pelvic Tilt taping (PPTT) with Kinesio tape as a treatment for chronic LBP and to reduce the Anterior Pelvic Tilt angle. Design Case report. Case description The patien was a 20-year-old female amateur swimmer with a Cobb's angle (L1–S1) of 68°, a sacral horizontal angle of 45°, and pain in both medial buttock areas and sacroiliac joints. We performed PPTT with Kinesio tape for 2 weeks (six times per week for an average of 9h each time). Results The patient's radiographs showed that the Cobb's angle (L1–S1) had decreased from 68° to 47° and that the sacral horizontal angle had decreased from 45° to 31°. Reductions in hypomobility or motion asymmetry, as assessed by the motion palpation test, and in pain, as measured by the pain-provocation tests, were observed. On palpation for both medial buttock areas in the prone position, the patient felt no pain. The patient experienced no pain or stiffness in the low back area while performing forward flexion in the standing position with knees fully extended when washing dishes in the sink. Conclusions The case study demonstrated that PPTT intervention favourably affected the Pelvic inclination and sacral horizontal angle, leading to beneficial effects on sacroiliac joint dysfunction (SIJD) and medial buttock pain. Additional research on the clinical effects of this taping procedure requires greater numbers of athletes with SIJD or LBP who have inappropriate Anterior Pelvic Tilt angles and hyperlordosis.

The Mechanical Effect of Anterior Pelvic Tilt Taping on Slump Sitting by Seated Workers
Industrial Health, 2011Co-Authors: Junghoon Lee, Wongyu YooAbstract:The objectives of this study were to determine whether there is a change in the Pelvic inclination after about 30 min of slump sitting by seated workers, and if so, to determine whether these changes can be prevented by the application of Anterior Pelvic Tilt taping (APTT). The subjects who consented to participate in the experiment were randomly allocated to two groups: no-APTT group and APTT group. The no-APTT group performed slump sitting for 30 min, and the both Pelvic inclinations were remeasured. In the APTT group, the both Pelvic inclinations were measured immediately after the application of the APTT, and then again after 30 min of slump sitting. The both Pelvic inclinations in the no-APTT group were significantly decreased (p 0.05). We suggest that APTT can be applied as an auxiliary treatment method for preventing changes in Pelvic inclination and musculoskeletal problems of low back area by awkward sitting posture in the seated worker.

the immediate effect of Anterior Pelvic Tilt taping on Pelvic inclination
Journal of Physical Therapy Science, 2011Co-Authors: Junghoon Lee, Wongyu Yoo, Hwangbo GakAbstract:[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of Anterior Pelvic Tilt taping (APTT) on the Anterior inclination of the pelvis when Kinesio tape (KT) was applied to the erector spinae and the internal oblique, which are involved in Anterior Pelvic Tilt. [Subjects] Forty asymptomatic adults (twenty-three males and seventeen females) agreed to participate in this experiment. [Methods] First, the Pelvic inclination of both sides was measured with a palpation meter (PALM), as the subjects leaned the Anterior aspect of their thighs against a stabilizing table, in an upright standing posture. After applying KT to the erector spinae and the internal oblique, the Anterior inclination of the pelvis of both sides was measured again. [Results] The Anterior inclination of the pelvis of both sides significantly increased when APTT was applied to the erector spinae and the internal oblique in both males and females. [Conclusion] These results suggest that APTT with KT, applied to the muscles involved in Anterior inclination, for the purpose of Tilting the posteriorly Tilted Pelvic Anteriorly, may change Pelvic inclination.

Effect of a Supervised Hip Flexor Stretching Program on Gait in Elderly Individuals
Pm&r, 2011Co-Authors: Jaclyn R. Watt, Jonathan Evans, Jason R. Franz, Jay Dicharry, Keith Jackson, D. Casey KerriganAbstract:Objective To determine whether a 10-week supervised hip flexor stretching program in healthy elderly subjects would increase peak hip extension, stride length and gait speed and reduce Anterior Pelvic Tilt during walking. Design A double-blinded, randomized, controlled trial. Setting Pre- and posttreatment assessments were performed in a gait laboratory, whereas stretching exercises were performed outside of the laboratory, usually in the subject's home. Participants Eighty-two healthy elderly individuals, with 39 subjects in the control group and 43 subjects in the treatment group. Intervention The treatment group completed a 10-week, twice-daily hip flexor stretching program, which was supervised twice weekly by a rehabilitation clinician. The control group completed a 10-week shoulder abductor stretching program. Main Outcome Measurements Passive hip extension range of motion, dynamic peak hip extension, peak Anterior Pelvic Tilt, stride length, and gait speed during walking. Results The treatment group showed significant improvements in passive hip extension range of motion ( P = .007). Subjects in the treatment group who presented with limited preassessment peak hip extension during walking had increased stride length ( P = .019) and peak hip extension ( P = .012), and decreased Anterior Pelvic Tilt ( P = .006) during walking, whereas subjects in the control group showed only decreased Anterior Pelvic Tilt ( P = .013). Conclusions The 10-week supervised hip flexor stretching program was effective in increasing stride length and peak hip extension during walking in elderly adults who had limited preintervention hip extension during walking. These results support the use of a simple stretching program for elderly individuals in counteracting age-related decline in gait function.

Effect of a Supervised Hip Flexor Stretching Program on Gait in Frail Elderly Patients
Pm&r, 2011Co-Authors: Jaclyn R. Watt, Jonathan Evans, Jason R. Franz, Jay Dicharry, Keith Jackson, D. Casey KerriganAbstract:Objective To determine whether a 10-week supervised hip flexor stretching program in frail elderly subjects would increase peak hip extension, stride length, and gait speed and reduce Anterior Pelvic Tilt during comfortable and fast-paced walking. Design A double-blinded, randomized, controlled trial. Setting Pre- and post-treatment assessments were performed in a gait laboratory and stretching exercises were performed outside of the laboratory, usually in the subjects' place of residence. Participants Seventy-four frail elderly individuals, with 41 subjects in the control group and 33 subjects in the treatment group. Intervention The treatment group completed a 10-week twice-daily hip flexor stretching program that was supervised twice weekly by a rehabilitation clinician. The control group completed a 10-week shoulder abductor stretching program. Main Outcome Measurements Dynamic peak hip extension and peak Anterior Pelvic Tilt, stride length, and gait speed while walking at a comfortable pace and a fast pace, as well as passive hip extension range of motion. Results The treatment group showed significant increases in walking speed and stride length after the intervention but showed no significant changes in peak hip extension or Anterior Pelvic Tilt during comfortable and fast-paced walking. The treatment group also showed significantly increased passive hip extension range of motion. Conclusions These results indicate that a simple stretching program is effective in improving some measures of age-related decline in gait function in frail elderly patients. The lack of consistent improvements in walking kinematics is attributed to the presence of multiple disabilities and limitations present in the frail subjects.

Changes in the coordination of hip and pelvis kinematics with mode of locomotion.
Gait & Posture, 2009Co-Authors: Jason R. Franz, Patrick O. Riley, Kate W. Paylo, Jay Dicharry, D. Casey KerriganAbstract:Limited hip extension mobility has been proposed as a possible cause of both increased Anterior Pelvic Tilt and subsequent exaggerated lumbar lordosis during walking and running. The purpose of the present study was to examine the coordinated sagittal plane kinematic patterns of the hip and pelvis during walking and running in a substantial group of adult recreational runners. The kinematics of 73 healthy adult runners (age: 34 ± 11 years) were examined on an instrumented treadmill at self-selected walking and running speeds using a three-dimensional motion capture system. Although stride length increased considerably from walking to running, the range of hip extension utilized during running was not significantly greater than that during walking. Thigh extension and Anterior Pelvic Tilt were significantly greater during running than walking. Also, a significant positive correlation was found between hip extension and Anterior Pelvic Tilt during both walking and running, indicating that Anterior Pelvic Tilt was greater in subjects that displayed reduced utilized peak hip extension. Thus, compensations for the increased stride length during running seem to occur at the pelvis, and presumably in the lumbar spine, rather than at the hip. Considering the association between Anterior Pelvic Tilt and lumbar lordosis, the present findings may have clinical relevance regarding the prevention and treatment of hamstring injuries and of injuries to the lumbar spine.

Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, 2005Co-Authors: Laura Lee, Jonathan Evans, Keyvan Zavarei, Jennifer J. Lelas, Patrick O. Riley, D. Casey KerriganAbstract:Abstract Lee LW, Zavarei K, Evans J, Lelas JJ, Riley PO, Kerrigan DC. Reduced hip extension in the elderly: dynamic or postural? Objective To test the hypothesis that reduced hip extension and increased Anterior Pelvic Tilt in the elderly are dynamic gait phenomena that do not occur during normal standing posture. Design Experimental. Setting Gait laboratory. Participants Twenty-five older adult subjects (mean age ± standard deviation, 71±5y) and 25 young adult subjects (mean age, 26±5y). Intervention Subjects were observed during standing and walking at self-determined comfortable, slow, and fast walking speeds. Positions and kinematics of the pelvis and lower extremities were measured using a 3-dimensional video-based motion analysis system. Main Outcome Measures Peak hip extension and Anterior Pelvic Tilt. Results There were no statistically significant differences between the older and young adult groups during standing with respect to either hip extension (3°±5° vs 1°±6°) or Anterior Pelvic Tilt (11°±5° vs 10°±5°). On the other hand, at comfortable walking speeds, the older adult group had reduced peak hip extension (7°±6° vs 11°±6°, P P Conclusions Age-related changes in gait defined by reduced peak hip extension and increased Pelvic Tilt are dynamic rather than standing postural characteristics.

Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, 2003Co-Authors: Jonathan Evans, Keyvan Zavarei, Jennifer J. Lelas, Patrick O. Riley, D. Casey KerriganAbstract:Abstract Objective: To determine whether reduced hip extension and increased Anterior Pelvic Tilt are dynamic gait phenomena that do not occur during normal standing posture. Design: Experiment. Setting: Gait laboratory. Participants: 25 elderly subjects (age, 71±4.7y) compared with 25 young adult subjects (age, 26±4.6y). Interventions: Subjects were observed during standing and walking at specific speeds while positions and kinematics of Pelvics and lower extremities were measured using a 3-dimnesional optoelectronic analysis system. Main Outcome Measures: Peak hip extension and Anterior Pelvic Tilt. Results: There were no statistically significant differences between the elderly and young adult groups during standing with respect to either mean hip extension (2.7° vs 1.5°, respectively, P =.43) or mean Anterior Pelvic Tilt (10.6° vs 10.4°, P =.85). On the other hand, consistent with prior studies, peak hip extension was significantly reduced and Anterior Pelvic Tilt was increased in elderly subjects at all walking speeds compared with younger subjects ( P Conclusions: Age-related changes in gait, characterized by reduced peak hip extension and increased Anterior Pelvic Tilt, are dynamic rather than standing postural processes.
