- Abstract
- Aims: The aim of this study is to determine if the correction of pelvic tilt /torsion by General Articulation Technique (GAT) of the hip joint can have an effect on the flow of blood in the lower extremities in a sample of asymptomatic European school of Osteopathy (ESQ) Method: 40 ESQ student volunteers (intervention group =20, control group=20) with a mean age of control 27.6:!:: intervention 26.2:!:: were recruited to take part in a single blind experimental study. All subjects were required to sign a consent form and complete a questionnaire, prior to participating. Systolic Blood Pressure (BP) readings were taken using Omron M2 Compact electric blood pressure monitor. Posterior superior iliac spine (PSIS) and anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) levels were marked and photographed before and after a general articulatory technique (GAT) was given. A literature search was carried out using the ESQ library, Greenwich University Library and IT resources and online journals using MEDLINE, PubMed, SwetsWise, PEDro and Google advanced search Key words Included: Osteopathy; articulation; peripheral arterial disease; pelvis; chronic venous insufficiency(CVI); leg ulcers.
