Abstract(s)
The purpose of this study was to evaluate short-term effects of the global pelvic manipulation (GPM) on knee joint position sense (JPS). This randomized, controlled double-blind trial included 26 asymptomatic participants (X § 25.3; standard deviation § 4.4 years) who were randomly allocated into 2 groups. Sixteen participants were allocated into the experi- mental group, in which GPM was performed, and the rest of the participants (n = 10) were included in the control group, which received sham ultrasound therapy. Each participant attended 1 session only, and the evaluations were assessed pretreatment and 5 minutes posttreatment through an isokinetic dynamometer (Biodex Medical Systems), in which the data regarding knee JPS ipsilateral to the manipulated sacroiliac joint were collected. Mann-Whitney and Wilcoxon tests were used, with a 95% signi!cance level.
