Q

Pelvis potential for dysfunction

A

weight of the upper body directed through the spine and axial skeleton downward and the resistance to forces from below form a balance at the pelvis. injury, postural and muscle imbalances from above or below can cause somatic dysfunction

Q

Heel strike (right foot) innominate position

A

right innominate rotates posteriorly, left rotates anteriorly, iliopsoas and quadriceps femoris contracted to flex the LE at the hip

21
Q

toe off (right foot) innominate position

A

anterior rotation of the right innominate which is mainly a passive process; iliopsoas relaxation allows anterior rotation of the innominate with gluteus maximus and hamstring contraction

22
Q

hip flexors

A

major: iliacus, psoas
minor: rectus femoris, sartorius

23
Q

hip extensors

A

gluteus maximus, hamstrings (biceps femoris, semitendinosis, semimembranosis)

**hamstring tension may cause a posterior rotation of the innominate and affect pelvic mechanics

24
Q

hip adductors

A

major: adductor magnus, adductor brevis, adductor longus
minor: gracilis, pectineus

25
Q

hip abductors

A

gluteus medius, gluteus minimus, tensor fascia lata

26
Q

trendelenburg sign

A
  • measures hip abductor strength (glut medius) (supplied by the superior gluteal nerve L5)
27
Q

hip external rotators

A
  • piriformis
  • obturator internus and externus
  • superior and inferior gemellus
  • quadratus femoris
28
Q

piriformis

A
  • only hip rotator that connects directly to the sacrum
  • abnormal contraction may cause sciatica
  • piriformis does abduction when the hip is flexed
  • piriformis does external rotation when the hip is extended
29
Q

innominant secondary muscle attachments

A

rectus abdominis, transversus abdominis, internal and external oblique muscles, quadratus lumborum

30
Q

nerves of the pelvis

A
  • lumbar plexus
  • sacral plexus
  • coccygeal plexus
  • sacral sympathetic trunk (forms ganglion impar)
  • pelvic splanchnic perves (s2-4): left colon
  • inferior hypogastric plexus
31
Q

lumbar plexus levels

A

L1-L4

32
Q

sacral plexus levels

A

L5-S4

33
Q

coccygeal plexus

A

S5-coccygeal nerve

34
Q

dysfunction of quadratus lumborum

A

may produce symptoms similar to a groin pull or hernia by irritating the ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric nerves (L1) as the pass anterior to quadratus lumborum

35
Q

what separates the greater and lesser sciatic foramen

A

sacrospinous ligament

36
Q

gravitational line structures

A
  • auditory meatus
  • acromion process
  • greater trochanter
  • body of L3
  • anterior 1/3 of sacrum
  • lateral condyle of the knee
  • lateral malleolus
37
Q

structures used to diagnose the innominates

A

iliac crests, ASIS, pubic tubercles, medial malleoli heights (least reliable), PSIS

38
Q

when are pubic tubercles used for diagnosis

A

pubic somatic dysfunction or subluxation

39
Q

when are ischial tuberosities used for diagnosis

A

used for “small hemipelvis” AKA when one side of the pelvis is congenitally smaller than the other

40
Q

steps for pelvic somatic dysfunction Dx

A

1) lateralization test
2) palpation of landmarks
3) diagnosis

41
Q

lateralization tests

A

standing flexion, ASIS compression

42
Q

anterior innominate rotation landmarks

A

ASIS is iinferior
PSIS is superior
Iliac crest is level
medial malleolus is inferior (long)

43
Q

posterior innominante rotation landmarks

A

ASIS is superior
PSIS is inferior
Iliac crest is level
medial malleolus is superior (short)

44
Q

superior shear landmarks

A

ASIS is superior
PSIS is superior
Iliac crest is superior
Medial malleolus is superior (short)

45
Q

inferior innominate shear landmarks

A

ASIS is inferior
PSIS is inferior
Iliac crest is inferior
medial malleolus is inferior (long)

46
Q

innominate inflare Dx

A

measure from the midline (umbilicus) to each ASIS, lateralization test decides the side of dysfunction, somatic dysfunction side displays smaller distance from ASIS to midline

47
Q

innominate outflare Dx

A

measure from the midline (umbilicus) to each ASIS, lateralization test decides the side of dysfunction, somatic dysfunction side displays LARGER distance from ASIS to midline

48
Q

pubic shear Dx

A

palpate the superior aspect of the pubic ramus and decide if superior or inferior
