Trial of a Test - Low Back Pain

[neuromuscular]

I would like as many as are interested to give feedback on a test that I have ben using for 15 years.

It suggests a condition that has been overlooked.

I have looked in numerous research areas and text books, but I cannot find any thing similar

The test is:

Landmark the ASIS to ASIS. Have the patient do hip abduction directly lateral in the coronal plane from closed at 15 cm or 6 inch increments to the abilty of the patient to perform. Note results.


Landmark the PSIS to PSIS and have the patient perform hip abduction as above. note results.

Landmark the ASIS to PSIS first on the right and then on the left as you have the patient do hip abduction as above.

I have found the following statistics:

No back pain:

No deviation inferior or superior to any great extent

Low back pain:

Only 10% have bilaterally equal pelvic angles that increase either to the posterior or anterior rotation.

The balance had differing pelvic angles. (90%)

Of this group:
60% right ant, left pos
20% right ant left neutral
20% right ant while left lesser angle ant.

See what you get for results.

Best regards.
