Assessing the contribution of pelvic and spinal mobilization, in the supine position, on shoulder-pelvic girdles dissociation

Résumé

BACKGROUND: Several articular, muscular and neurological diseases generate mobility loss in the shoulder and pelvis girdles. Joint mobilization contributes to improving shoulder-pelvis girdles dissociation, but current mobilization techniques are not always successful and standardized. A robotic medical device, DPA Med®, by inducing trunk mobilization through lower limb oscillation has been developed for producing such a shoulder-pelvis girdles dissociation and is already used worldwide in rehabilitation hospitals. RESEARCH QUESTION: To determine the optimal lower limb oscillation frequency that generated the best shoulder-pelvis girdles dissociation using the DPA Med® device. METHODS: Thirty healthy adult volunteers (mean age: 38.6 [SD 15.2] years, mean height: 174 [SD 11.9] cm, mean body mass: 70.3 [SD 14.7] kg) participated in this prospective study. A kinematic analysis quantified pelvic and shoulder girdle mobility (rotation and lateral tilt) at different DPA Med® frequencies, from 0.5 Hz to 1 Hz. A visual analysis of the lower limb movement was also performed, using video sensors, to better understand the kinematics involved. RESULTS: All DPA Med® frequencies have shown significant shoulder-pelvis girdles dissociation (p < 0.05). This study established an optimal oscillation frequency with the minimal interindividual variability at 0.808 Hz. It induced pelvic mobility similar to that of normal gait, in the transverse and frontal planes (10.3°, SD 2.9°, and 12.0°, SD 2.2°, respectively). This trunk mobility was achieved by producing a lemniscate-shaped motion in the lower limbs (an eight-shaped motion in the transverse plane). SIGNIFICANCE: This study has shown that the DPA Med® device is able to induce shoulder-pelvis girdles dissociation similar to that of normal gait and allowed to establish the existence of an optimal DPA Med® oscillation frequency for lower limb mobility at 0.808 Hz. Further studies are required to evaluate its potentially benefits on gait disorders.
