transverse axis of motion of sacrum?
- Superior (Respiratory) at S1:
Thoracic respiratory and Primary Respiratory motions in the sacrum occur around this axis - Middle at S2:
Postural motion of the sacrum opposite the lumbar spine - Inferior Transverse Axis at S3:
The innominates rotate around this axis
Iliosacral motion
what axis does the asis compression test check?
inferior transverse axis ileosacral motion
MET absolute contraincations
fracture, dislocation or joint instability
MET superior pubic shear
patient supine doctor on same side leg off table abduct leg until motion at pubic symphysis, extend leg to feather edge of barrie, place hand on contralateral ASIS, instruct patient to push leg antero medially resist do three or four times recheck
MET inferior pubic shear
patine supine flex patient leg to feather edge of barrier moving innominate posteriorly have patient push knee inferior laterally
MET for pubic compression
alternate adduct abdcuct forces with one fist then two fists
MET for anterior rotated innominant
. Place patient’s right knee against physician’s shoulder closest to the patient.
- Flex the patient’s hip to the feather edge of the restrictive barrier, moving the innominate posteriorly.
- With cephalad hand reach under and contact ischial tuberosity to guide posterior rotation of the innominate or brace opposite ASIS.
- Instruct the patient to push their knee inferiorly into physician’s shoulder while providing isometric counterforce.
- Maintain this contraction and counterforce for 3-5 seconds.
- Instruct the patient to relax.
- Wait until the tissues relax (at least 2 seconds), then re-engage the feather edge of the barrier.
- Repeat steps 3-6 two to four more times or until no further change is noted.
- Return to neutral.
- Reassess.

Patient Position: Prone
Initial Position: Thigh hanging off the table, flexed to 135 degrees, abducted, fine tune with external rotation
L5 rule for sacrum
sacral torsion and L5 are always rotated opposite eachother
forward sacral torsion means what kind of mechanics in lumbar spine
Forward sacral torsions occur with NEUTRAL mechanics in the lumbar spine. (Type 1)
backward sacral torsion occurs with what mechanics in lumbar spine
Backward sacral torsions occur with NON-Neutral mechanics in the lumbar spine. (Type 2)
left on left sacral torsion what is L5 diagnosis? (ROSS)
L5 is rotated to the RIGHT, and sidebent left.
how do you find the sacral sulci?
moving medial and slightly superior to the PSIS bilaterally.
Where is the inferior lateral angles of the sacrum (ILA)
most posterior/inferior aspect of the sacrum is the level of the
How is the sacral flexion test performed and which side is positive?
seated, side that moves first and farthest is positive
In sacral torsions the seated flexion test + side is what in reference to the dysfunction and what to the oblique axis?
ipsilateral to the dysfunciton but contralateral to the oblique axis
In sacral sheers the + side is what to the dysfunction?
ipsilateral to the dysfunction
which test determines left or right for sacrum diagnosis?
seated flexion test is a lateralizing test
a straight posterior force at the level of the PSIS evaluates which sacral transverse axis?
middle transvers axis should coorelate to seated flexion test
What are the criteria for a positive and negative ASIS compression test
A negative test will have a small amount of free motion of the ilium with respect to the sacrum before the entire pelvis begins to rotate. In addition, there will be a ligamentous (firm but not bony) end-feel.
A positive test will have NO motion of the ilium with respect to the sacrum, and the pelvis will rotate immediately. Repeat the procedure on both sides.
what sacral test determines anterior vs posterior?
sacral spring test
what would a positive sacral spring test mean?
no spring sacrum is stuck backward
increased or unchanged asymetry of the sacral landmarks when a patient moves into the sphynx position would indicate what for the sacrum?
sacrum prefers posterior motion extension type dysfunciton
improvement of assymetry of the scarum when the patient moves into the sphynx position would indicate what for sacral diagnosis?
sacrum prefers anterior motion (flexion type dysfunciton)
which test is considered the most reliable of all sacral tests?
motion testing
what would indicate a unilateral sacral flexion?
The slippage of one sacroiliac joint about a vertical axis with translation of the sacral base (the sacrum appears to be side bending on an A-P axis).
Positive seated flexion test (usually) on dysfunctional side.
Spring test NEGATIVE (forward motion present)
Sulcus deep on same side as positive seated flexion test
ILA posterior on same side as positive seated flexion test
what would indicate a unilateral sacral extension?
The slippage of one sacroiliac joint about a vertical axis with translation of the sacral base (the sacrum appears to be side bending on an A-P axis). Positive seated flexion test (usually) on dysfunctional side. Spring test POSITIVE (forward motion ABSCENT) Sulcus shallow (posterior) on same side as positive seated flexion test ILA anterior (deep) on same side as positive seated flexion test
what determines a bilateral sacral shear?
Negative (or equivocal) seated flexion test.
Bilaterally Positive ASIS Compression Test
Exaggeration of normal flexion or extension.
Sacral sulci equal but excessively deep or shallow.
ILA’s are equal but excessively deep or shallow.
The sphinx/spring test will determine flexion or extension.
Positive spring test (spring is absent) = Extension
Negative spring test (spring is present) = Flexion
how do you treat forward sacral torsions?
Up UP UP or down down down (These refer to the Axis, the patient’s face, and the doctor’s force respectively)
up up up treatment steps for sacral torsion?
Axis is UP (patient lying on dysfunction side)
Flex patient’s knees and hips to localize force to L/S junction from below.
Rotate patient’s shoulders so his face is UP (supine from the waist cephalad) to localize force to L/S junction from above.
Physician brings patient’s ankles UP toward the ceiling (Doctor’s force is UP).
Monitor at dysfunctional base (one nearer the table)
Patient isometrically contracts to bring ankles toward the floor as physician resists. 3-5 seconds.
Patient relaxes. Physician takes up the slack. Repeat 3-5 times

treatment for unilateral flexion scaral
IN IN IN
Physician abducts the ipsilateral leg to open the SI joint—approximately 15o
Physician INternally rotates ipsilateral leg (patient maintains this position)
Physician contacts the ipsilateral INferior lateral angle with his thenar eminence and introduces an anterior (ventral) springing force to the point of maximal barrier.
Patient is instructed to INhale maximally and hold. Physician maintains force when the patient exhales.
Repeat 3-5 times with forceful inhale.
