Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Leg Check Test1 dayWhen a subject is lying prone or supine, emptying the pelvis, the feet are examined for the presence of a short leg or alignment asymmetry, often at the margin (heel-sole interface). Evidence has suggested that for most people, anatomical leg length disparity is not clinically relevant until the size reaches \ 20 mm (\ 3/4). It is a clinical test commonly used by chiropractors
Pressure Pain Threshold Measurement with Algometer1 dayPressure algometry is a semi-quantitative method used to localize sensitive areas, trigger points, abnormal sensitivity on muscles and bones, and evaluate pressure pain sensitivity in tissues. The dial is calibrated to 2.5 kg in 25 g divisions. The pressure applied by continuously pressing the disc 35 against the skin is to advance the pointer on the dial clockwise through the metal piston.
Oswestry Disability Indexone dayLow back pain is one of the most common disorders that cause activity limitationIt has 16 questions and two subscales: physical activity and work. The physical activity section consists of 5 questions and the labor section consists of 11 questions. The questionnaire was a 7-point Likert type scale. In the answers given to the questionnaire, 0 points are given to the statement of I don't agree at all and 6 points to the statement of I totally agree.
Patrick FABER Test:1 dayThe ipsilateral hip and knee joint of the participant in the supine position was flexed, and the heel was placed on the opposite knee. The test stresses the anterior sacroiliac ligaments and hip joint. It was accepted that the pain was felt in the sacroiliac joint region
Gaenslen Test1 dayThe participant was in the supine position on the examination table, with the lower extremity close to the evaluator hanging down from the bed, while the hip joint was brought to maximal hyperextension, while the hip and knee joints were passively brought to maximum flexion in the other lower extremity. The
Compression Test1 dayThe participant was positioned on their side, hips flexed to 45° and knees flexed to 90°. The evaluator applied a compression force from the superior iliac crest to the lower iliac crest behind the patient. This test stretches the posterior sacroiliac ligaments and compresses the anterior portion of the sacroiliac joint. The test was considered positive if there was pain in the sacroiliac joint.
The straight leg raise test1 dayThe straight leg raise test is known as the sciatic nerve stretch test. It has been reported that mobilization and stretching of the sciatic nerve occur from 30 degrees on.
