Effects of FUNCTIONAL CORRECTION on Foot Pressure Balance, Pelvic Displacement and Spinal Displacement in Patients with Low Back Pain

Purpose: After 8 weeks of functional orthodontic treatment on the subjects of twelve worker patients with back pain in their 30s, this study attempted to investigate the effect of pelvic tilt, pelvic rotation, lumbar lordotic angle and ferguson s angle on pelvic floor balance and pelvic displacement. Method: First, to investigate the change in foot pressure balance after functional correction of participants, the foot pressure balance was measured by dividing it into three stages before, during, and after treatment. Second, Pelvic AP View and Lumbar Lateral view were measured before and after treatment to examine X-ray changes in pelvic displacement and spinal displacement after functional correction of participants. Results: To examine the results of analyzing the changes in foot pressure according to the functional correction of the study participants, the changes in the foot pressure of the left and right and the front and back sides showed a more balanced form of foot pressure after conducting functional correction than before conducting functional correction, which is analyzed that there is a statistically significant difference. There was no statisti-cally significant difference between the lumbar lordotic angle s pre and post displacement among the partici-pants spinal displacement, but the pre- and post-displacement of Ferguson s Angle showed that there was a statistically significant difference(p<.05). Conclusion: This study confirmed that functional correction treatment had a significant effect on pelvic dis-placement and spinal displacement overall, positively affecting the balance between the trunk and lower limbs, improving the difference in foot pressure and improving body stability.
