Term
Sacrum moving on ischium
Definition
SI
Term
Ischium moving on sacrum
Definition
IS
Term
Where is the sacral sulcus located?
Definition
Medial to PSIS
Term
What does the sacral sulcus do in flexion and extension?
Definition
Deepens with extension
Shallow with flexion
Term
The SI joint consists of what 7 joints?
Definition
L5-S1
Hip Joints
Pubis Symphysis
SI joints
Term
This is more of a cause of SI lesions
Definition
L spine
Term
This is more of a cause of IS lesions?
Definition
Hip joint
Term
-Movement of the inominate on the sacrum
-Pubic lesion - up or down slip
-Torsion - anterior or posterior
-Flares - in or out (rarely seen but most often in pts who just had a baby)
Definition
Iliosacral (IS)
Term
-Movement of sacrum on inominate
-Rotations
-Nutation, Counternutation
Definition
Sacroiliac (SI)
Term
Do muscles play a big role in SI or IS problems?
Definition
IS
Term
Do muscles play a major role in the moving sacrum?
Definition
No
Term
-Part of the spine (above)
-Muscles do not play a major role in moving this
Definition
Sacrum (SI)
Term
-Part of the lower extremity (below)
-MM is major role in moving this (h/s, gluts, etc
-MM plays a major role in the cause and correction (especially if they are weak)
Definition
Innominate (IS)
Term
This occurs when the innominate moves circularly in a posterior direction.
High ASIS; Low PSIS
Definition
Posterior Torsion (IS)
Term
This occurs when the innominate moves circularly in the anterior direction.
Low ASIS; High PSIS
Definition
Anterior Torsion (IS)
Term
If you have a posterior torsion on one side then you have an anterior torsion on the opposite side and vice versa so how do you know which side to treat?
Definition
Side the pain is
Term
Can the innominate move independently of the sacrum?
Definition
Yes
Term
Can you have IS without SI?
Definition
Yes
Term
-One side moves up or down (shear)
-Palpate a step (not level)
-Always associated with a torsion
Definition
Pubic impairment (IS)
Term
A pelvic up-slip is associated with a __ torsion
Definition
Posterior
Term
A pelvic down-slip is associated with a ___ torsion
Definition
Anterior
Term
Can you have a torsion without pubic involvement?
Definition
Yes
Term
Can you have a pubic problem without a torsion?
Definition
NO
Term
What is the least common IS problem?
Definition
Flare
Term
R ASIS more lateral and R PSIS more medial
Definition
Outflare
Term
R ASIS more medial, R PSIS more lateral
Definition
Inflare
Term
This is where the base of the sacrum moves anterior and the apex moves posterior. The sacrum is more horizontal than normal and this usually occurs with extension.
Definition
Nutation (SI)
(Donald Duck Butt)
Term
This is where the base moves posterior and the apex moves anterior. The sacrum becomes for vertical and it normally occurs with flexion.
Definition
Counternutation (SI)
(Pink Panther Butt)
Term
Upper R to lower L
Definition
Right Oblique Axis
Term
Upper L to lower R
Definition
Left oblique axis
Term
The direction of the rotation is to same side of the oblique axis
-R rotation on ROA
-L rotation on LOA
Definition
Forward Rotation
Term
The direction of the rotation is to the opposite side of the oblique axis
-R rotation on LOA
-L rotation on ROA
Definition
Backward Rotation
Term
What muscle can you use to treat an anterior torsion?
Definition
Hamstrings
Term
What muscle can help treat a posterior torsion?
Definition
Iliopsoas
Term
What muscle will help pull the pubis outward?
Definition
Adductors
Term
What muscle will help move the pubis up?
Definition
Abdominals
Term
What muscle will help an outflare?
Definition
Hip abductors
Term
What muscle will help inflare?
Definition
Sartorius
Term
Pelvic problems usually present as unilateral pain at the PSIS and pain is worse with what 2 activities?
Definition
Walking or stair climbing
Term
May have pain down leg but no change in neuro. No pain below knee. SLR may be positive.
Definition
Pelvic problems
Term
3 common activities that cause pelvic pain in men
Definition
Running
Lifting
Golf
Term
Are pelvi problems more common in men or women?
Definition
Women (6:1)
Term
Wider pelvis; SI farther from hip - longer lever arm. Carrying small children and wearing high heels.
Definition
Women pelvic problems
Term
How might hormonal changes affect women's pelvis?
Definition
Increase in ligament laxity
Increase in relaxin in pregnancy
Increase in relaxin 7-10 days before menstruation
Term
Name 3 treatment goals for pelvic problems.
Definition
-balance structure
-balance ms length and strength
-balance trunk and ground forces
Term
When trying to balance structures via muscle energy, list the order of what to treat.
Definition
Pubis
IS
SI
Term
Do not move on to treating the next thing until the pubis has been balanced for __ days
Definition
2-3
Term
First 3-4 Days: 15-20 x/day
Next Week: 3-4x/day (at least)
Life Style Change - daily (at least)
Definition
Muscle energy
Term
What type of pt education should you give pts to balance structures
Definition
Pillow between knees, avoid crossing legs, shift weight, exercise before bedtime to alleviate pain and avoid static postures.
Term
How should you treat length and strength?
Definition
Stretch tight ms
Strengthen weak ms
Term
How can you balance the trunk?
Definition
Strengthen abs
Normal lumbar mobility
Term
Name3 ways to balance ground forces
Definition
-Balance foot (pronation)
-Normalize LLD
-Normal flexibility/strength (again)
