The purpose of this study was to analyze the change of morphologic pelvis according to age and gender. Pelvis AP(anterior-posterior) projection were taken from 382 individuals (men: 194, women: 188) at the age of twenty and older. We measured four values of pelvis using CR (computed radiological system) including maximum pelvic breadth (MPB), sacral breadth (SB), transverse diameter of pelvic inlet (TD), and distance between femoral heads (DFH). Average (t-test, ANOVA) and Pearson correlation were calculated for comparison. While there was no significant difference of gender in case of MPB, significant differences were observed in SB (men 97.76 mm, women 102.00 mm), TD (men 138.0 mm, women 149.79 mm), and DFH (men 141.94 mm, women 150.39 mm). The DFH values were negatively correlated with the age (men r=-0.280, women r=-0.207). The morphological changes of pelvis were measured high in the men of 50's and in the women of 60's and 70's. The SB, TD and DFH were greater in the women than in the man. As the ages get higher, the deviation of pelvis were gradually increased, which indicates that the morphological changes of pelvis with respect to the age reflects an aging process.

The purpose of the study is to provide frame work of efficient diagnostic and treatment protocol for the people with malpositioned pelvic which causes imbalance of body. Study subjects were grouped as experimental, comparison and control group. Each group consisted of five men and five women randomly assigned. Experimental group was to be tested with Thompson Terminal Technique, its corrective effect and the effect of maintaining the treatment. There were 43.01%p difference in effectiveness of the applied technique between Thompson Terminal Technique and Muscle Energy Technique. It indicates that Thompson Terminal Technique is more effective in treating pelvic misalignment than Muscle Energy Technique. As a result, the use of chiropractic and resistance exercises is proven to be effective for treating the imbalance of body. Also, to maximize the effect of treatment, it is preferable to apply Muscle Energy Technique after applying the Thompson Terminal Technique.

Methods : The following keywords "골반", "골반 교정", "골반 변위" "Pelvic correction" were searched on three specialized search sites (RISS, NAI, DBpia). Trends in pelvic correction therapy were analyzed through the selected researches suitable among these searched researches in an overview format. Results : 1. A total of 7,806 studies were searched and a total of 268 studies were finally selected. 2. Studies began in 1977 and have been actively studied until recently, with 35 studies in 2017 being the most recent trend since 2000. 3. In the results according to the Main Field of Research, the 'Arts and Kinesiology'(113, 42.16%) and 'Medicine and Pharmacy'(103, 38.43%) were the most in order. To the Middle Field, the 'Kinesiology was the largest with 96(35.82%) studies. 4. In the results according to the study design, 'Pre-Post Test(PPT)' was the largest with 107 studies. 5. In the results according to the Intervention, 'Exercise' was the largest with 165 studies, of which 'Pilates' and 'Yoga' in 'Training' was the largest. 6. Among the evaluation method, the 'Pelvic Index' was used 146 times, followed by 'Spinal Alignment (99)', 'Other Joints (93)', and 'Kinetic Specialized Measurement Test (56)'. 7. Among the evaluation methods, the pelvic slope measurement indicators were PT (58), PH (48), Pelvic Torsion (40), Iliac Crest (38), ASIS-PSIS distance/angle (27), and Pelvic Width (I.W., I.L., S.W) (25) in order. 8. The journals that published the most researches were KJSS(Korean Alliance For Health, Physical Education, Recreation, And Dance;9), and JKPT(Korean Physical Therapy;9). Among the University, the Graduate School of Silla University published the most papers (12). 9. The author who published the most studies were Seungjin Park(3), the co-authors were Hoseong Lee, Gideok Park, Seongsu Bae(3), and the Thesis-Director Gyeongok Lee(7). Conclusions : 1. Studies on pelvic correction treatment continue to increase every year. 2. The main academic field of pelvic correction is 'Sports', 'Physical Therapy', and 'Medical Science'. 3. The most chosen research design method in the study on pelvic correction treatment was 'Pre-Post Test(PPT)', primarily as an intermediary, Pilates and yoga during exercise therapy, and then Chiropractic during handcraft were used as multiple frequencies. 4. Among the various measurement method indicators of pelvic correction previously used, multiple frequency was taken up in the order of PT, PH, Pelvic Torsion, iliac crest, ASIS-PSIS distance/angle, and pelvic width (I.W.,I.L.,S.W). Typically, measurements through "ASIS-PSIS angle" are recommended and are considered as the most rational in clinical trials.

The objective of this study was to evaluate tire effects of modified triple pelvic osteotomy(TPO). The procedures of modified TPO were composed of two iliac osteotomies and a pubic symphysiotomy at a tittle. Medical records of modified TPO treatment on 36 dogs and of unilateral TPO on 7 dogs were reviewed on the basis of signalment, body weight, operation time, Healing time of osteotomy sites and complications from October 2002 to September 2004. The values of clinical status and hip dysplasia, Norberg angle, percentage of femoral head coverage and pelvic diameter from radiographs taken preoperative, immediately postoperative, 2, 4, 8, 12 and 24 weeks after operation, respectively, were measured. In .unilateral TPO, the dogs could start standing without assistance from $3.0\pm1.0days$ and walking from $8.3\pm0.6days$ (n=3). Mean clinical grade before and 24 weeks after surgery were $2.2\pm0.42$(n=6) and $3.5\pm0.7$ (n=2), respectively. Mean operation time was $107.3\pm38.9$ minutes (n=4). In modified TPO, the dogs were seen to staff standing without assistance from $4.9\pm3.7$ days and walking from $7.3\pm4.8days$ (n=25). Mean clinical grade before surgery and 24 weeks after surgery were $2.3\pm1.5$ (n=27) and $3.2\pm0.7$)(n=9), respectively. Postoperative clinical grade significantly improved against preoperative clinical grade (P<0.01). Mean operation time was $143\pm42.8$ minutes (n=24). This was shorter than time f3r twice unilateral TPO. By comparison with preoperative values, postoperative mean radiographic grade, percentage of femoral head coverage and Norberg angle measured at the recheck time point significantly increased (P<0.01). Mean postoperative pelvic diameter was significantly larger than preoperative pelvic diameter in modified TPO (P<0.01) but not in unilateral TPO. These results indicated that modified TPO was effective technique for the treatment of hip dysplasia in dogs.

A 9-month-old female Korean short hair cat weighing 2.2 kg presented for evaluation of a two-week history of obstipation. The owner reported that the cat sustained pelvic fractures 4 months previous to the onset of fecal tenesmus. On physical examination, fecal tenesmus was observed and restriction of the movement of the right coxofemoral joint was evident. Rectal palpation revealed narrowing of the pelvic canal with a hard bony protuberance at the bilateral acetabulum and pubic bones. Radiographs revealed a distended colon with feces and narrowing of the pelvic canal with abnormal structure of the pelvic bone. Conservative management consisting of stool softeners and a warm water enema was instituted; however, there was no improvement in obstipation. Partial iliac, ischial, pubic, and acetabular ostectomies were performed. Postoperative radiographs and rectal palpation revealed the enlarged pelvic canal. Stool softeners (5 ml orally twice daily) was administered following surgery for 14 days and then tapered down to 2.5 ml for 14 days. A warm water enema was performed twice postoperatively. At examination 14 days postoperatively, no problems with defecation and gait were reported. There was no evidence of obstipation and lameness of the left pelvic limb 5 months postoperatively.

Purposes: The purposes of this study were to investigate the relationship between the standing position of the subject and the normal standing position(NSP) and the straight standing position(SSP) and to investigate the possibility of different body shape test results depending on the status of the image inspection apparatus. Methods: The images of the NSP and SSP were compared with each other by body line BLS system. Results: At the time of examination, the position of the camera was captured at a position 2.3 m vertically from the posterior position 45 cm behind the subject. This is a privacy protection method for covering the breast of the subject. Results: The physiological characteristics of the anatomical position of the body align image test are the living body. NSP and SSP tests showed different shapes of the pelvis AS(antero-supero) and pelvis rotation in the transverse plane. Shoulder and arm displacement was observed in the trunk extension image capture. Conclusions: In the body alignment test, the pelvis position test images of NSP and SSP are evaluated differently for pelvis rotation, AS, and PS. At the extension position of the trunk, a test of the maximal extension range showed that the left and right shortening of the shoulder anterior muscles could be observed. Inducing and testing the trunk extension is also useful.

Three dogs presented to the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital of the University of Konkuk and Hangang Animal Hospital with a history of perineal swelling. No tenesmus, stranguria, or any clinical signs other than the swelling was observed by the owners in three dogs. On physical examination, the swelling was observed unilaterally in two dogs and bilaterally in a dog. Digital palpation to the swelling confirmed reducible perineal herniation in two dogs and irreducible perineal herniation in a dog. Plain radiographs revealed that no pelvic or abdominal contents other than the fat were displaced into subcutaneous perineal region in three dogs. Internal obturator transposition herniorrhaphy was performed for correction of perineal herniation in three dogs. Contralateral herniation involving fat was noted after surgery in a dog. The follow-up information was based on physical examination by veterinarians or telephone interview with owners. The owners reported that there was no evidence of complications related to surgery such as sciatic nerve injury, rectal prolapse, wound dehiscence, or perineal hernia recurrence in all dogs.
