Description

Objective: Evaluate the effect of Gonstead Technique over the biomechanics of long-distance runners from theUNEVE Student Clinic, who has a pelvic deficiency or tilt. Design: Longitudinal, prospective, self-controlled, andexperimental. Methods: A group of 21 long distance runners were diagnosed with pelvic deficiency using Gonstead Technique (5:2 rule) radiograph line drawing analysis. Manipulation of the spine, pelvic area, and lowerextremities were made twice per week for 2 months. At the end of the treatment changes were determined usingradiograph line drawing analysis. Results: Significant statistical changes (P<0.005) were observed in someradiograph analysis, was an increment on inferior posterior ilium (213.5 to 234.4) anterior superior ilium (210.9 to233.1), internal rotation ilium (111.5 to 119.6). Also, the lumbosacral angle was increased (15.4 to 34.2). There was areduction on the length of: external rotation ilium (121.6 to 113.7) and the deficiency length (5.6 to 2.8). Also, thelumbar angle (3.6 to 1.3) and Ferguson line (34.1 to 17.3) were both decrease. Evaluating genders, the line of theinferior posterior ilium on males rises 18.2% while on females increase 6.4% (p=0.0001). Conclusions: After thetreatment with Gonstead’s Technique we observed significant changes on radiograph line drawing analysis for pelvictilt or deficiency and biomechanics alterations on college long distance runners.
