with L5
Term
COCCYX
Definition
tailbone; composed of 3-4 fused bones.
Term
sacrum and coccyx are part of
Definition
the vertebral column.
Term
SACRO-ILIAC JOINT
Definition
junction between the sacrum and the ilium, part synovial, part fibrous (iliac side is fibrocartilage, sacral surface is hyaline)
Term
ILIAC SIDE OF SACRO-ILIAC IS
Definition
fibrocratilage
Term
SACRAL SURFACE OF THE SACRO-ILIAC IS
Definition
hyaline
Term
Nutation or sacral flexion occurs when
Definition
the base (top) of the sacrum moves anteriorly and inferiorly. (forward and down) This causes the inferior or lower portion of the sacrum and coccyx to move posteriorly.
Term
Anterior tilt of the sacrum results in
Definition
the base (top) of the sacrum moving anteriorly while the apex moves posteriorly.
Term
Nutation occurs with
Definition
trunk flexion or hip extension.
Term
Counternutation or sacral extension occurs when
Definition
the base (top) of the sacrum moves posteriorly and superiorly (back and up) causing the tip of the coccyx to move anteriorly.
Term
Counternutation occurs with
Definition
trunk extension or hip flexion.
Term
Sacrotuberous Ligament
Definition
stretches between ischial tuberosity and edge of the sacrum. Deep to gluteus maximus. This ligament is strong and broad.
Term
Posterior Sacroiliac Ligaments
Definition
supports the union of the posterior sacrum and ilium. Attachments are from sacrum to area on ilium near PSIS.
