Abstract

[Purpose] To evaluate mobility of the sacroiliac joint and plantar pressure changes. [Participants and Methods] This was an analytical study comprised of 300 participants, using a functional kinetic evaluation involving the test of standing flexion (SFT), the test of Downing, the test of Gillet, and the analysis of baropodometry. [Results] There was an association between mobility of the sacroiliac joint and the standing center of gravity. However, the mobility of this joint was not associated with plantar pressure and the plantar contact area. [Conclusion] These data suggest that sacroiliac mobility is linked to the center of gravity. This connection may precede sacroiliac dysfunction and may help to improve the accuracy of the tests.

Keywords: Plantar pressure; Sacroiliac joint; Sacroiliac mobility.
