Motion Analysis in Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction

Summary

Rationale: The sacroiliac joint (SIJ) is increasingly being recognized as a potential cause of chronic low back and buttock pain. The SIJ is affected in 14-22% in patients presenting with this pain. Conservative treatment options include oral analgesic use, physical therapy, radiofrequency denervation and intraarticular steroid injections. When non-surgical treatment remains ineffective, surgical intervention is a reasonable option in the form of minimally invasive sacroiliac joint fusion (MISJF). Recent literature suggests that imbalance and sagittal sacropelvic morphology can occur in patients with SIJ dysfunction.

Using motion analyses, the investigators want to evaluate full movement patterns in SIJ patients. Potentially, changes in these parameters can be observed before and after MISJF surgery.

Objective: To determine spatiotemporal parameters, pelvic obliquity, center of gravity and load capacity in patients suffering from SIJ dysfunction before and after MISJF surgery. Movement parameters will also be determined in healthy individuals to compare with patients suffering from SIJ dysfunction.

Methods: This prospective cohort study will include patients enlisted for MISJF surgery because of SIJ dysfunction. Spatiotemporal parameters, pelvic obliquity, center of gravity and load capacity will be examined before and 3 months after surgery in a professional Motion Lab. Movement parameter of healthy individuals will also be evaluated at the Motion Lab. All data will be analyzed using MATLAB software.
