Overview
In clinical practice, a response can often be encountered, when managing a painful coccyx, not onlyin muscles in the pelvic region but, also, in paraspinal erectors of the torso. Our study was designedto test the hypothesis that spasm of the m. gluteus maximus and muscles of the pelvic floor arefactors capable of modulating the pattern of hip extension. Using PEMG before and after post-iso-metric relaxation of the above muscles, we examined the stereotype of hip extension in a group of24 patients with the typical picture of painful coccyx. We have shown that, in 22 out of the 24 patients,treatment of painful coccyx using PIR resulted to an immediate change of the movement pattern.
