(55 cards)
1
Q
What is the role of the pelvis?
A
- body support
- locomotion
- maintains stability - distributes the effects of mass, gravity, and mechanical forces from above and below
- at base of vertebral column, yet still long way from the ground
2
Q
The weight of the upper body is directed through the ___ and ____ downward and the resistance to forces from below forma balance at the pelvis
A
spine
axial skeleton
3
Q
What creates a great potential for SD?
A
injury, postural and muscle imbalances directed from above or below towards the pelvis
4
Q
What influences LE circulation and drainage?
A
pelvic diaphragm and inguinal area
5
Q
What are the main functions of the pelvis?
A
- biomechanical function and balance: foundation for body support and locomotion
- reproduction (genital structures)
- elimination (GI and urologic)
- vascular and lymphatic functions for the region
6

9
Q
What is the sacrospinous l?
A
sacrum to spine of ischium
10
Q
What is iliolumbar l?
A
from ilia to 5th lumbar vertebra
- stabilization of L5 (possibly L4)
- stabilizes anterior motion of the lower lumbar spine
- restricts anterior and rotary motion of L5
- blends with the upper part of the anterior SI l
11
Q
What is anterior sacroiliac l?
A
covers much of SI joint
- connects the 3rd sacral segment to the lateral side of the pre-auricular sulcus
- thicker than the posterior SI ligaments to prevent the sacrum from “popping” out anteriorly
12
Q
What is inguinal l?
A
ASIS to superior pubic rami
- consists of thick bands which extend from the ASIS to the pubic tubercle
- forms the floor of the inguinal canal through which an indirect inguinal hernia may develop
- give origin to the internal oblique and transversus abdominis m
13
Q
What is sacrotuberous l?
A
sacrum to ischial tuberosity
14
Q
What is posterior sacroiliac l?
A
covers much of SI joint
- inferior fibers from the 3rd and 4th sacral segments, ascend to the PSIS and posterior end to the internal lip of the iliac crest
- blends with STL and thoracolumbar fascia
15
Q
What is the interosseous sacroiliac l?
A
major bond between the bones, filling the irregular space posterosuperior to the joint
-covered posteriorly by the posterior sacroiliac l
16
Q
What is the pubic symphysis?
A
- lies anteriorly btwn the adjacent surfaces of the pubic bones
- each of the joint’s surfaces is covered by hyaline cartilage and is linked across the midline to adjacent surfaces by fibrocartilage
- joint surrounded by interwoven layers of collagen fibers and the two major ligaments: superior pubic ligmaent and inferior pubic ligament
17
Q
Describe the forces of the pubic symphysis
A
extremely strong posterior ligaments
articulation at SI joint
18
Q
Describe the innominate biomechanics of the heel strike
- innominate rotation
- muscles
A
- right leg glides forward and this is aided by the right innominate rotating posteriorly
- contralateral innominate rotates anteriorly
- iliopsoas and quadriceps femoris were contracted to flex the LE at the hip
- iliopsoas contraction and motion of the swing phase act upon the innominate to cause posterior rotation
19
Q
Describe innominate biomechanics of toe off
- rotation
- muscles
A
- body does a controlled fall forward with the left leg gliding forwards and anterior rotation of the innominate is mainly a passive process
- contralateral innominate rotates posteriorly, mainly an active process
- iliopsoas relaxation allows anterior rotation of the innominate with gluteus maximus and hamstring contraction to extend the LE at the hip
- ipsilateral e spinae and quadratus lumborum contraction aids anterior innominate rotation

- pt standing, physician behind pt with eyes at level of patient's PSIS
- contact the inferior aspect of the PSIS bilaterally
- ask pt to bend forward with hands towards toes, knees straight
- let thumbs follow the motion of the PSIS
+ test = one PSIS moves farther superiorly
indicates SI joint dysfunction on the side that elevates first
55
What is the ASIS compression test?
- pt supine
- physician stands with dominant eye closest to the patient's body
- contact the ASIS bilaterally, induce a force through aSIS toward the table (posterior and medially) alternating between right and left hands
+ test = "hard end-feel" or "restriction of motion" on one side
indicates SI joint dysfunction on the side of restricted motion
