The effects of sacro-iliac joint dysfunction on walking will be explored using five normal individuals and ten with sacro-iliac joint dysfunction.
The subjects will be filmed at the University of New South Wales Ergonomics Iab. Five of those with sacro-iliac joint pain will be filmed before chiropractic adjustment, immediately after adjustment and after one week of continuing treatment. The other five subjects with sacro iliac joint dysfunction and the five normal individuals will be filmed at the same intervals as those receiving chiropractic treatment.
Gait parameters, such as stride length, ground reaction force etc. , will be determined in consultation with staff of the Ergonomics Iab and any response to treatment will be noted. Subjects will also rate their discomfort on a pain scale at each testing session.
