Summary

The study can be identified as an experimental study with a quasi-randomized control. It consisted of HVLA manipulation on blocked sacroiliac joints (SIJ) and it was checked whether it affected the appropriate parameters determining the pressure center (COP). The value of the parameters were examined twice, before (PRE) and after (POST) manipulation. The results were compared with the control group (people without hypomobility SIJ) in which sham manipulation was performed, and COP parameters (PRE and POST) were measured twice. In addition, PRE and POST results were compared within the group, i.e. separately in the experimental group (E) and separately in the control group (C) to check the effect of HVLA manipulation and placebo manipulation.

The first hypothesis assumes that persons belonging to the experimental group are characterized by significantly higher values of COP parameters before manipulation than values in the control group. The second hypothesis assumes that COP parameters will normalize as a result of sacroiliac joint mobilization performed in the experimental group.

Interventions

OTHER

HVLA Manipulations

The procedure of experimental manipulation: the patient lay on the healthy side with the straight lower limb, and the torso turned towards the dysfunctional side, whose lower limb was bent in the hip and knee joint, and the hands rest on the lower ribs on the same side. The therapist allowed the initial loosening of the tissues and chose the movement barrier with his stabilizing hand. Then, with the treatment hand, he introduced the HVLA thrust through the iliac bone towards the bottom, while giving the iliac bone a posterior or anterior rotation - meaning, the opposite to the occurring dysfunction. If during the manipulation, no cavitation sound was heard, the HVLA thrust was repeated once.

OTHER

Sham Manipulation

The sham procedure was the same, but no external force was introduced in the form of a therapeutic impulse.
