ABSTRACT:
A pelvic belt may be used in the treatment of instability in the SI joint or pubic symphysis region for an individual. The use of a pelvic belt reduces the ability of the innominate bones of an individual to be pushed outwardly from each other during movement. The pelvic belt includes a first portion having an attachment means for fastening the belt about the pelvic ring at a height approximately aligned to the base of the wedge between the sacrum and ilium bones, or just above the greater trochanter region, for an individual. The pelvic belt also includes a second portion, a third portion and a fourth portion. The second and fourth portions include an area having an increased surface dimension with respect to the first and third portions. Additionally, the second and fourth portions include an interior non-slip surface to facilitate the retention of the pelvic belt in a desired position about the pelvic ring of an individual. A fifth portion extends from the fourth portion, where the fifth portion includes a clasping loop for engagement to the first portion during the affixation of the pelvic belt to an individual.
