Abstract

The aim of this study was to clarify the improvement factor from analyzing changes in the finger-floor distance induced by passive hip internal and external rotation exercise. We classified 27 healthy students randomly into a practice group (18 students: passive hip internal and external rotation) and a control group (9 students: passive hip flexion and extension exercise). The finger-floor distances before and after intervention were measured and the correlation coefficient of the change in value of the hip joint rotation angle, pelvic angle and dorsal and lumbar spine was examined for the improvement factor. The result was that a significant improvement in the finger-floor distance of the practice group was shown, but there were no correlation with the change of the finger-floor distance and angle change of internal/external rotation, right and left, pelvic stoop and lumbar and dorsal spine flexion. The mechanism is still unclear, but it was revealed that passive hip internal and external rotation exercise has an effect on improving the finger-floor distance. <br>
