Conclusions: The sacroiliac joint presents wide variations in joint surface morphology. Computer modeling may aid in understanding of forces acting on the joint and ligament tension forces, especially in posterior pelvic pain syndromes seen during pregnancy.

The length of the LE was also measured, as the distance from the iliac crest to the medial malleolus. Immediately after the initial assessment, participants were subjected to motion and static palpation of the sacro-iliac joint (SIJ) and lumbar segments. CA were then performed on each subject. Adjustments were performed aiming at restricted segments found in the SI Joint and/or lumbar joints. After that, all measurements taken initially were repeated. Student t-test and chi-square test were used for comparison between the two groups. Variance analysis was used for study of repetitive measurements. Results: A significant difference of LE load distribution as measured by baropodometry was found between the two groups both before and after adjustments, with an increased load on the right LE found on the group of subjects with LBP (p = 0.003). The groups differed in length measurements of the lower limbs where the apparent LBP group had significantly lower values of the right side (p = 0.036) and left (p = 0.047). Significant difference was smaller than LBP group (p = 0.031) compared to the asymptomatic group (p = 0.033) as the center of gravity before and after the adjustment. The group of LBP showed a lower center of gravity oscillation of the body in relation to the asymptomatic group, both before and after CA, suggesting that the individual LBP takes a tougher stance as a clearing mechanism of pain. The CA, in one session in two groups of subjects, asymptomatic and LBP, showed no significant relationship in load distribution in the LE before and after CA. The correlation between the procedures for measuring load distribution in the lower limbs and the deviation from the center of gravity failed to establish a method of monitoring the effectiveness of CA. Conclusion: The differences could not be characterized as significant in the whole body symmetry and load distribution between the LE before and after CA.

Methods : Seventy-two students participated, with 36 students in each cohort. The OSCEs were performed in the simulation laboratory before the participants' clinical practice internship and after 6 months of the internship. Students were tested in 9 stations for clinical skills and knowledge. The same procedures were repeated for both cohorts. The t test was used for unpaired parametric samples and Fisher's exact test was used for comparison of proportions. Results : There was no difference in the mean final score between the 2 groups (p = .34 for test 1; p = .08 for test 2). The performance of the students in group 1 was not significantly different when performed before and after 6 months of clinical practice, but in group 2 there was a significant decrease in the averag...

Another purpose is to provide exemplars of enduring programs and offer suggestions for how chiropractic practitioners may celebrate education on Chiropractic Day, which is September 18.
Discussion Chiropractic education has transformed considerably over the past 125 years, and there are now 52 programs globally. We consider the 5 longest-existing chiropractic programs and propose hypotheses for what may have contributed to their durability. In addition, we offer ideas and opportunities for how chiropractic practitioners may focus on chiropractic education when celebrating the founding of the profession.
Conclusion Since its inception, chiropractic education has expanded around the world and continues to develop. Recognized accreditation agencies and testing organizations are ensuring that standards of education are established and maintained internationally. With innovation, international collaboration, and a commitment to continuous professional development, the future of chiropractic education is bright. We urge chiropractic practitioners from all over the world to celebrate these accomplishments on Chiropractic Day.
