There were researches in the field <strong>of</strong> anatomy, stability, risk factors for developing pelvic<br />

symptoms, the symptoms <strong>and</strong> the prevalence.<br />

In addition, research has been conducted into improving the diagnostics concerning pelvic<br />

complaints. The scope was to make a compilation <strong>of</strong> tests to differentiate whether there is<br />

low back <strong>and</strong> pelvic <strong>pain</strong> or pelvic instability. In particular, the development <strong>of</strong> the Active<br />

Straight Leg Raising (<strong>ASLR</strong> test) test has been animportant development. Because <strong>of</strong> its<br />

debatable sensitivity this test will not be enough to diagnose pelvic instability. There is a<br />

need for a small <strong>and</strong> in practice easily executable test battery. Allthough there are several<br />

studies done, there is still no good test battery found <strong>and</strong> established. The research <strong>of</strong> this<br />

master study is a contribution to the composition <strong>of</strong> a potential test battery. A totally new test<br />

battery has been developed for this study which should be evaluated.<br />
