PURPOSE
During endurance run knee problems often appear. This study wants to show the connection between a one- sided malposition of the pelvis and knee joint pain during endurance running.
METHOD
We tested endurance runners which had pelvis malposition and knee pain. Therefore 100 athletes were tested, 50 with knee pain and 50 without knee pain. Manual examination and clinical instruments were used for examination of sacroiliac joints for measurement of vertical distances between spinae iliacae anteriores superiores. Collected data were analyzed by appropriate statistical methods.
RESULTS
The results show that there is a connection between a one- sided pelvic malposition and knee pain during endurance running. These relations are probably realized by changes in lower extremity dysfunction as a result of pathological chains. The one sided pelvis malposition was in the control group significant higher (0.9 $\pm$ 0.4 cm) than in the control group (0.3 $\pm$ 0.2 cm).
CONCLUSION
There is a correlation between knee pain and os coxae malposition. (It is necessary in examine and treat the the cause- and effect chain to prevent injuries).
