Abstract

An important element in motor control is proprioception, whose deficit may contribute to a greater risk of injury and structural changes in the musculoskeletal system. Increasing the quality of proprioception is therefore one of the goals of therapeutic intervention.

Its quantitative evaluation can help in selecting the appropriate therapeutic approach and mediate valuable feedback on the therapy results. One possible approach to assessing proprioception is the reposition test.

The study introduces the possibility of objectification of pelvis reposition test using inertial sensors. The advantage of inertial sensors is their low weight, which does not disturb the natural course of movement, affordability and ease of portability, making it easy to use in clinical practice. we present a case report that evaluates the effect of Feldenkrais lesson "Pelvic clock" on proprioception in the torso region.

The results demonstrate the benefit of quantifying the pelvic reposition test to evaluate and optimize the selected therapeutic procedure.
