BACKGROUND: The cause of non-specific @entity158 is unknown. Pregnancy-related pelvic @entity158 seems to be a subgroup that deserves a specific treatment. One of the options is the use of a pelvic belt. AIM: To objectify the influence of a pelvic belt in @entity1 with pelvic @entity158 . DESIGN: Case-control study. SETTING: Outpatient clinic. POPULATION: A total of 49 @entity1 with long-lasting posterior pelvic @entity158 and 37 parous @entity1 of the same age group without pelvic @entity158 . METHODS: Hip adduction force was measured by asking the @entity1 to squeeze a hand-held dynamometer between the knees. This was firstly performed without a pelvic belt and then with a pelvic belt. The increase of hip adduction force after applying the pelvic belt was expressed in percentages. RESULTS: After tightening a pelvic belt hip adduction force increased 25.9% (SD 33.9%) in @entity1 with pelvic @entity158 (P<0.0001) and 1.0% (SD 8.6%) in @entity1 without (P=0.67). The difference between groups was significant (P<0.00001). CONCLUSION: A pelvic belt has a positive influence on hip adduction force in @entity10100 . CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: The results show an objective positive effect of the pelvic belt in @entity1 with long-lasting @entity10100 in a test-situation. The results support the idea that the use of a belt could be part of a multidisciplinary rehabilitation of those @entity1 .
