A Comparison of Radiographic and Visual Analysis Methods for Determining Pelvic Misalignments.
- Conditions
- Gonstead, Chiropractic, Pelvic Analysis
- Registration Number
- NCT05621382
- Lead Sponsor
- Sherman College of Straight Chiropractic
- Brief Summary
This study looks to compare pelvic misalignments visualized during patient inspection to actual pelvic misalignments derived from x-ray mensuration.
- Detailed Description
This study looks to compare pelvic misalignments of 30 subjects visualized before x-ray set up to the actual misalignments derived from x-ray mensuration. 30 outpatients at the Sherman College of Chiropractic Health Center were randomly chosen to participate, and were having x-rays taken as part of their normal course of care in order prevent unnecessary radiation exposure. Patients were told to march in place as they were positioned to the x-ray bucky. Once the patient was set to the bucky, the bucky was moved out of the way and the patient was visualized by a health center intern. The intern evaluated gluteal widths, gluteal fold heights, and foot flare. The bucky was then replaced without patient movement and x-rays were then taken. Two doctors with experience in Gonstead line analysis for the pelvis who were blinded to the x-ray findings, measured pelvic misalignments and the results were compared to the visual analysis.
