30-40= back/sciatic
60-70= SIJ
IF SIJ: gapping= compress ASIS, less pain=hypo mobile
Push ASIS, less pain= hyper mobile
Limb length test
1) standing= functional (recruits mm)- check alignment
2) supine= anatomical
Gillets test
Looking for anterior/posterior rotation of hip
1) spine flexion= normal= SI raise first, then PSIS
Abnormal= posterior hip tight
2) leg flexion= normal= PSIS down first then SI
Abnormal= anterior hip tight
*check both sides
