Abstract
A key feature in physiotherapeutic treatment of patients with motion disturbances is the appropriate ranging of the trunk and pelvis motility. Eighty subjects randomly selected and free from known pathology of the muscular-skeletal and/or of the neurological system classed into four groups according to the age and the sex have been assessed, by using a new, simple and easy administrable tool. Our results demonstrate that the new measurement tool showed a very low intra- and inter-observer variability, that healthy subjects showed a more adduced and elevated right scapula if compared to the contralateral one and, as regard as the pelvic motion, a broader joint excursion in passive motion compared with active motion in the overall group, a broader joint excursion in young subjects compared with elderly ones, and a broader joint excursion in female subjects compared with males subjects. In conclusion our study allowed to identify a range of physiological asymmetry and pelvis motility. Such a range of physiological asymmetry might be useful as a reference for the physiotherapists.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
