Abstract

  • A rubber pelvic belt and an exercise ball are useful items to improve SIJ disorder.

  • Points for preventing SIJ disorder include not working in the same posture for a long time and active walking. Do not be relaxed while in semi-flexion posture or during activity.

  • The transversus abdominis muscle and gluteus maximus muscle are important in stabilizing the SIJ.

  • The draw-in exercise and the bridge exercise are effective in training the transversus abdominis and the gluteus maximus.

  • Squatting exercise is effective for maintaining the function of the SIJ.
