〔目的〕骨盤・下肢アライメントの年代間の相違とその性差を検討した.〔対象〕脊柱,下肢に整形外科的既往のない男女141名を,若年群,中年群,高齢群に分けた.〔方法〕骨盤前傾角度,膝伸展角度,骨盤傾斜角度,FTA,Q-angle,大腿骨前捻角,navicular drop test,leg-heel alignmentの測定を行った.〔結果〕高齢群でアライメント変化が著明に現れ,男性は膝屈曲方向,女性は骨盤後傾,股外旋,膝内反・屈曲方向へと変化することが示唆された.また,骨盤前傾角度,FTAは高齢群で性差がなくなることが明らかとなった.〔結語〕男女それぞれのアライメント変化の傾向を考慮し,理学療法を提供していくことが重要であると考える., [Purpose] The purpose of this study was to examine the alignment of the pelvis and lower extremities in males and females of different age groups. [Subjects] The subjects were 141 healthy persons who were classified into three groups based on age: young, middle-aged, and elderly. [Methods] Anterior pelvic tilt, knee extension angle, lateral pelvic tilt, femoro-tibial angle (FTA), quadriceps angle, femoral anteversion, navicular drop test, and leg-heel alignment were measured. [Results] In the elderly group, significant changes of alignment due to aging were observed. Flexion of the knees was observed in both males and females. Posterior pelvic tilt, external rotation of the hip, and varus of the knees were observed in females. Anterior pelvic tilt and FTA did not show any difference between genders in the elderly group. [Conclusion] It is important to consider the tendency for alignment to change due to aging in each gender when providing physical therapy., 首都大学東京, 2015-03-25, 博士(理学療法学), 甲第475号
