Q

Describe the sacrum in the second decade of life

A

Crescent-shaped ridge develops along the iliac surface that interdigitates with a depression on the sacral side, which adds stability and limits mobility

The SI joint is a _________ joint

A

diarthrodial joint; contains synovial fluid

A

STL

sacrotuberous ligament

19
Q

What are the functions of the sacrospinous and sacrotuberous ligaments?

A

Piriformis

21
Q

What are the posterior pelvic landmarks?

A

PSIS
AIIS

22
Q

The _____ ______ ______ is critical for resistance against shear

A

self-locking mechanism

23
Q

______ ______ involves the specific properties of the articular surfaces of the SIJ

A

Form closure

***requires the proper size, shape, and attitude of the articulating surfaces

24
Q

______ ______ is the compression produced by body weight, muscle action, and ligament force

A

force closure

25
Q

List the muscles that lay posteriorly to the SI and provide a belt like effect

A

Latisimus dorsi, the thoracolumbar fascia, gluteus maximus, and the ITB.

26
Q

List the muscles that lay ventrally to the SI and provide a belt like effect

A

abdominal obliques, the linea alba, and the transverse abdominals.
—- In both standing and sitting, the activity of the oblique abdominal muscles, especially the internal obliques, was found to be significant

27
Q

the _____ (______) ____ transverse axis about which the sacrum moves during the respiratory cycle and inherently due to PRM in OCMM. It passes from side to side through the articular processes posterior to the point of attachment of the dura at S2.

A

ST (Respiratory) axis

28
Q

The _____ (_______) _____ is the functional transverse axis of nutation & counternutation in the standing position, passing through the anterior aspect of S2.

A

MT (postural) axis

29
Q

The _____ (______) ____ functional transverse axis at the level of S3 through the inferior auricular surface, and represents the axis for movement of the ilia on the sacrum.

A

IT (Pelvic/Ilial) Axis

30
Q

Describe the sacral extension counternutation

What does the base of the sacrum do? What does the apex of the sacrum do?

A

Base moves posteriorly and the apex moves anteriorly

31
Q

Describe the sacral flexion nutation

What does the base of the sacrum do? What does the apex of the sacrum do?

A

Base: anteriorly
Apex: posteriorly

32
Q

All of the movements of the sacrum on the ilium are ______ movements.

A

gliding

**This includes flexion/extension, rotation, sidebending (lateral flexion) & gliding upward and downward.

33
Q

A

nutation

34
Q

Traction applied from above the LS junction glides the sacrum upwards and causes ______.

A

Q

Rotation applied through the lumbar spine causes the sacrum to rotate towards the ______ side and sidebends towards the ______ side.

A

Ipsilateral

contralateral

36
Q

_______ is when a transitional segment in which the first sacral segment becomes like an additional lumbar vertebra articulating with the second sacral segment.

A

Lumbarization

37
Q

_______ is the

  1. Incomplete separation and differentiation of the fifth lumbar vertebra (L5) such that it takes on characteristics of a sacral vertebra.
  2. When transverse processes of the fifth lumbar (L5) are atypically large, causing pseudoarthrosis with the sacrum and/or ilia(um), referred to as batwing deformity, if bilateral.
A

Sacralization
