Various other studies have assessed pelvic immobilisation devices.
Developing pelvic pain and disability were evaluated using a symptom questionnaire and each woman underwent standardised clinical examination on three occasions by the same clinician.
With the pelvic compensator, the robot walks nearly in a straight line, demonstrating successful compensation of the yaw-motion.
Programmes are generally noninvasive and involve teaching exercises to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, which may be combined with reinforcement techniques.
This can be used as an additional treatment to pelvic floor exercises.
The use of the pelvic shell was found to increase positioning errors in the longitudinal (superiorinferior) direction.
Table 4 illustrates how the ease of set-ups correlates with use of the pelvic shell.
Posteriorly, the pelvic inlet and pelvic outlet are bounded by the sacral promontory and the ischiotuberous ligaments, respectively.
