Reliability of Sacral Slope, Pelvic Femoral Motion and Cup Ante-inclination on AP Pelvic Radiographs in Healthy Pts

Completed

Conditions studied: Healthy

In brief

Currently, there are no validated anatomical landmarks that can be used to predict risk of and diagnose abnormal patterns of pelvic motion.This proposed study will measure sacral slope, pelvic femoral angle and cup ante-inclination in both sitting and standing positions, using healthy individuals without a history of spinal and/or lower extremity pathology. All radiographs will be evaluated for the three measurements by four individuals with the intent of evaluating inter-observer reliability. Determining the reproducibility of these angles between observers will give insight into the potential clinical utility of these measurements in evaluating and treating patients with hip-spine syndrome.
