The influence of pelvic adjustment on vertical jump height in female university students with functional leg length inequality

Abstract: [Purpose] This study aimed to investigate the effect of pelvic adjustment on vertical jump height (VJH) in female university students with functional leg length inequality (FLLI). [Subjects] Thirty female university students with FLLI were divided into a pelvic adjustment group (n = 15) and a stretching (control) group (n = 15). [Methods] VJH was measured using an OptoGait. [Results] After the intervention, jump height improved significantly compared with the pre-intervention height only in the pelvic adjustme… Show more

“…In terms of posture and balance, some scholars believe that if the unequal length of the lower limbs does not exceed 20 mm, because of the compensation mechanism works, there is generally no obvious limp when walking. The compensation mechanisms include increased foot pronation in the long lower limb and increased foot supination in the short lower limb during the supporting phase [9], the pelvic tilt to the short lower limb [10], scoliosis, etc. [11].…”
