Abstract
Objective
The purpose of this study was to assess whether a 1-day application of posterior pelvic
tilt taping (PPTT) using a kinesiology tape would decrease anterior pelvic tilt and
active straight leg raising test scores in women with sacroiliac joint who habitually
wore high-heeled shoes.
Methods
Sixteen women (mean age, 23.63 ± 3.18 years) were enrolled in this study. Anterior
pelvic tilt was measured using a palpation meter before PPTT application, immediately
after PPTT application, 1 day after PPTT application, and immediately after PPTT removal
after 1 day of application. Active straight leg raising scores were measured at the
same periods. Posterior pelvic tilt taping was applied in the target position (posterior
pelvic tilt position).
Results
The anterior pelvic tilt was decreased during and after 1 day of PPTT application
(before and after kinesiology tape removal) compared with the initial angle (all P < .05). Active straight leg raising scores were decreased during and 1 day after
PPTT application (before and after kinesiology tape removal) compared with the initial
score (all P < .05).
Conclusion
The results of this preliminary study suggests that PPTT may temporarily decrease
anterior pelvic tilt and active straight leg raising score in women with sacroiliac
joint pain who habitually wear high-heeled shoes.
