Question 13

FPR steps

Answer 13

• 1. Neutralize the curve
• 2. Indirect position (where the pts do like go)
• 3. Activating force for immediate release
• 4. Hold for 3-5 seconds

Question 14

• Dx Sacrum with FPR Sacral Eval (restricted only)
• Treat?

Answer 14

1. Neutralize curve: put pillow under pts abdomen
2. Put hands on ILA => push forward to head => feel which is restricted.

• • test if decrease cephalad motion.
    
    • Decrease cephalad motion on R side
      
      • Thus, pt does not like to SB L, does like to SB R
    • Decrease cephalad motion on L side
    • • Thus, pt does not like to SB R, does like to SB L

Answer 23

Superior Innominate Shear Stills Technique

1. Indirect (initial position)
   
   1. Pt is supine
   2. Abduct and ER LE to gap SI joint (w leg raised slightly off table)

   3. Adduct hip while monitoring upper pole of SI joint
2. Compress from knee => upper pole of SI joint
3. Direct (final position)
   
   1. Maintain compressing while abducting hip and extending knee => add traction

Question 25
