Abstract

The biomechanical stability of the pelvic ring is more than a relationship between the bony segments, it is the foundation of the entire musculoskeletal function. So far, various methods have been adopted to capture the movements of pubic symphysis with a focus on the non-injured anatomy. However, the existing biomechanical models, simulating either one-leg stance [Kraus, 1998] or symmetrical loading on both legs [Kim, 1999; Pohlemann, 1992; Varga, 1995], differ from the alternating physiological load during the gait. The aim of this study was to develop a new biomechanical testing model with two-leg alternate pelvic loading in order to measure movements at the pubic symphysis closer to reality.
