Pelvic tilt linked to poor hip sense in back pain patients
NCT ID NCT07569510
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 64 adults with lower back and leg pain caused by a herniated disc. Researchers measured how well participants could sense their hip joint position and compared it to any pelvic asymmetry. The goal was to understand the connection between pelvic alignment, body awareness, and pain, which could help design better physical therapy exercises.
