Análisis descriptivo de la asimetría pélvica en una población asintomática.

Introduction: Pelvic tilt is clinically assessed based on its relationship with spinal conditions, but there is little evidence from the asymptomatic population for comparison purposes. Objective: To analyze an asymptomatic population focusing on pelvic asymmetries using photogrammetry. Material and methods: 92 subjects (18-35 years old) underwent marking of the anterior and posterior iliac spines and were photographed. Alcimage software was used to measure the pelvic tilt angle. Other tests included: the Kolmogorov normality test, t test, Wilcoxon test, and Pearson coefficient to measure the correlation. Results: 11.96% of males had anteversion and 34.78% normality; 38.04% of females had anteversion and 15.22% normality. Angles between iliacs for bilateral tilt showed no difference, but a difference was seen with the predominance of one side. For unilateral tilt a difference between iliacs was seen. Good correlation of predominance versus anteversion was observed, and correlation was poor for side angles. The rest showed a weak or non-significant correlation. Conclusion: Tilt cannot be used individually to characterize pelvic dysfunction or pathology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
