    The purpose of this study was to investigate intrarater reliability of measurement of leg length distance, static palpation at bony landmarks and performing special tests for sacroiliac joint in normal subjects. Thirty male subjects (mean age 20.4 ± 1.4 yrs) were participated by wearing headdress helmet and uniform for blinding the examiners. The subjects were randomized for assessment by a manager and they were examined each station that consisted of spinomalleolar distance, palpations of anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS), posterior superior iliac spine (PSIS), iliac crest, greater trochanter, ischial tuberosity, and special tests which were Weber-Barstow test, long-sitting test, and hip rotation test. The subjects were examined 3 times in each test where the special tests was examined the last sequence. The Data were analyzed by Intraclass Correlation Coefficient and Kappa Coefficient. The result demonatrated that the intrarater reliability in measuring left and right spinomalleolar distance and the distance from navel to ASIS on left and right side  were 0.98, 0.99, 0.98, and 0.98 , respectively. In addition, the intrarater reliability of static palpation in ASIS, PSIS, iliac crest, greater trochanter, and ischial tuberosity were 1.00, 0.94, 0.96, 0.98, and 0.90, respectively. Furthermore, intrarater reliability of special tests that in Weber-Barstow test, long-sitting test, and hip rotation test were 0.92, 0.97, and 0.95 respectively. In conclusion, the intrarater reliability of leg length distance, static palpation at bony landmarks, and special tests of sacroiliac joint in male subjects were high in this study.

    Ruesi Dudton Stretching Exercise
    (Khon Kaen University, 2009-12-24) Weerapong Chidnok
    Ruesi Dudton is a stretching exercise in Thai traditional medical style to enhance well being for both the bodyand mind. This article explains the methods and benefits of Ruesi Dudton Stretching Exercise. Several studies havefound that Ruesi Dudton Stretching Exercise training has beneficial effects on balance, flexibility, leg extensorstrength, inspiratory and expiratory muscle strength, and anaerobic fitness in healthy sedentary females. Therefore,Ruesi Dudton Stretching Exercise can be applied for health promotion. However, the effects of Ruesi DudtonStretching Exercise training on human physiology, anatomical and biomechanical analysis should be further investigated.
