Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study looks to compare pelvic misalignments visualized during patient inspection to actual pelvic misalignments derived from x-ray mensuration.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study looks to compare pelvic misalignments of 30 subjects visualized before x-ray set up to the actual misalignments derived from x-ray mensuration. 30 outpatients at the Sherman College of Chiropractic Health Center were randomly chosen to participate, and were having x-rays taken as part of their normal course of care in order prevent unnecessary radiation exposure. Patients were told to march in place as they were positioned to the x-ray bucky. Once the patient was set to the bucky, the bucky was moved out of the way and the patient was visualized by a health center intern. The intern evaluated gluteal widths, gluteal fold heights, and foot flare. The bucky was then replaced without patient movement and x-rays were then taken. Two doctors with experience in Gonstead line analysis for the pelvis who were blinded to the x-ray findings, measured pelvic misalignments and the results were compared to the visual analysis.
