“…This was an additional proof to demonstrate the various rotational stuck of sacrum in Oblique and Antero-posterior axis. Which we were neglects to display in our previous work [5,6]. The present study also observed that, the instability of Multifidus and Erector spinae were results in results in Bilateral dysfunctions in Transverse axis dysfunctions.…”

Abstract:The present study was primarily focused to determine the common presentations and manual diagnostic procedures for sacral malalignments. Forty football players (n = 40), from National Football Club (NFC) were selected for the study. Subjects were constrained to males with no history of orthopedic or neurological issues, and also include the subjects only with normal muscle power and Range of movement (ROM) of the back and extremities. The mean age of the studied population was 22.2 ± 3.9 years, height 175.8 ± 6.6 cms, and weight 87.5 ± 7.1 kgs. The important bony landmarks like Sacral Sulci and Base, Infero-Lateral Angles (ILA) of sacrum, position of L5 vertebra and Sacrotuberous ligament were located manually. These landmarks were considered as an extremely basic and vital for the manual assessment of sacral malalignments. In this study, we observed, 50% i.e., majority of the soccer's were suffered with oblique axis malalignments, includes Right On Right -ROR and Left On Left -LOL of sacral dysfunctions. The players suffered with AP and Transverse axis of sacral malalignments were encountered up to 17.5% and soccer's who had the vertical axis malalignments was observed only in 7.5%. However, this method of assessing the sacral malalignments until then not documented. In this sense, the current study was mainly focused on the assessment and documentation of the different common presentations in sacral malalignments, which are most common in soccer players. This simple method of evaluation is the literature state of the art. The present study may provide the useful informations to analyze the common presentations of sacral malalignments in different sports.

“…The sacroiliac joint was formed by the articulation of sacrum and ilium to complete the bony pelvis. Numerous ligaments firmly strap the sacroiliac joints together to balance out the bony pelvis, and also it decreases the movement of the joint [5,6,15].…”

“…Between-limb comparisons are most commonly measured by assessing muscle strength and torque. Idoate et al 13 reported non-dominant side hypertrophy of the rectus abdominis in professional players, which they speculate was stronger to provide for the stabilizing demands of the non-kicking limb. In elite soccer players, Aginsky and Neophytu 14 reported greater hamstring strength and endurance in the dominant limb, agreeing with Blache and Monteil 15 who concluded that greater dominant limb knee flexor and extensor strength existed at 40% and 60% maximal load in a sample of recreational players.…”

Background: Functional and structural asymmetries attributed to limb dominance are equivocal in soccer players. Previous authors hypothesize the existence of between-limb asymmetry secondary to the repetitive unilateral nature of kicking. However, symmetry is often present, particularly in measures of muscle strength. Purpose:The purpose of the present study was to determine if lateral dominance is accompanied by corresponding between-limb asymmetries in a comprehensive assessment of body composition, muscle strength, and range of motion in healthy soccer players.Study Design: Cross-sectional, observational.Methods: 17 healthy male NCAA Division One collegiate soccer players participated (age 19.6±1.5 years; BMI 23.9±1.4 kg/m2). Footedness was attained via participant self-report. Lower limb muscle strength (hand held dynamometry), range of motion (goniometry), and body composition (dual energy x-ray absorptiometry scan) were measured. Lower-leg symmetry was analyzed comparing the dominant versus non-dominant limb using paired t-tests. Results:Comparisons revealed no statistically different differences in outcomes, indicating remarkable symmetry in all measures of body composition, muscle strength, and range of motion (p>0.05) between the dominant and nondominant lower limbs. Conclusions:The authors speculate the prevalence of running versus kicking, the longitudinal effects of playing careers, and/or functional compensation attenuates the expected asymmetries in healthy male collegiate soccer players. Level of Evidence: 2b

“…On assessment we taught the subjects how to perform the movements to gain access to the malalignment of both Innominate bones of the bony pelvis unit. In addition, to justify our diagnosis we access the muscles of the functional slings and the muscles around the bony pelvis related to the malalignment of the pelvic unit (Abdolhamid Daneshjoo, 2013), (Julie Hides, 2012), (Fernando Idoate, 2011). We encouraged all the subjects to relax and told them that the movements would not be judged as "good" or "bad."…”

Abstract:The innominate malalignments are most common in sports injuries and even in every client who presents with low back & pelvis pain or dysfunction. In this study, we used simple bony palpation method to assess the various innominate malalignments in football players, which was fails to observe in previous work of various authors. While there are many methods to determine pelvic symmetry or asymmetry, this method is very simple one and that consistently works well for me. This study includes the healthy football players from National Football Club (NFC) of our institution, who were training or playing during the period of investigation (September 2014 -May 2015) (n = 40) were eligible for participation. At entry to the study, this eligible sample had a mean age of 22.2 ± 3.9 years, height of 175.8 ± 6.6 cm, and mass of 87.5 ± 7.1 kg. The number of eligible participants at each time point was 40 for all the four session time, point 1 (T1; start of preseason-3) and point 2 (T2; end of season-3). Subjects were limited to men who had a normal muscle strength and Range of Motion (ROM) of the back and lower extremities and who had no history of orthopaedic or neurologic disorders. All the individuals are subject to gain access the malalignment of both Innominate bones of the bony pelvis unit. In addition, to justify our diagnosis we access the muscles of the functional slings and the muscles around the bony pelvis. The techniques were repeated in different position and also performed for two times per day and continued for fifteen days to standardize. In this study, we observed, 92.5% i.e., the majority of the soccer's are suffering with multiple innominate malalignments. The soccer's suffering with single component malalignment account for about 25% includes the isolated Rotational, Upslip or Tilt innominate stucks and soccer's who had the normal innominate at the end of the season is only about 7.5%. Conclusion: This method of assessing the pelvic malalignments until then not documented. In this sense, the objective of this study is to analyze and document the different presentations in pelvic malalignments which are common in soccer players and its simple method of evaluation is the literature state of the art. The present study may provide useful information to analyze common presentations of pelvic malalignments in different sports.
