| Abstract: | [Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between theability to perform the sit-to-stand movement and the maximum pelvic anteversion andretroversion angles of patients. [Subjects] Thirty-two stroke patients (66.7±7.6 years)(>3 months post-stroke) who were able to sit unsupported and 50 age-matched healthysubjects participated in this study. The stroke patients were classified into two groupsaccording to the sit-to-stand movement test: the group that was able to stand up (thestand-able group) (18 persons) and the group that was unable to stand up (the stand-unablegroup) (14 persons). [Methods] Pelvic anteversion and retroversion maximum angles weremeasured by a manual goniometer attached to an inclinometer. [Results] The maximum pelvicanteversion angles were −1.6 ± 5.0°, 1.2 ± 2.8°, and −12.4 ± 6.1° in the control group,the stand-able stroke group, and the stand-unable stroke group, respectively. Asignificant main effect of group was found. An angle discriminating between the two strokegroups was found: the maximum anteversion angles in the stand-able group were distributedabove −5°. [Conclusion] The maximum pelvic anteversion angle was significantly smaller inthe stand-unable group than in the stand-able and control groups.Key words: Stroke, Pelvis, Sit-to-stand |
