LECTURE 4B Flashcards
SI joint pain is divided into what 3 categories
- pregnancy
- pathology
- non specific
SI joint dysfunction has symptoms below the knee true or false
false
2+ joints away = nerve
most people with acute LBP present with at least ___ red flag
80% of people with 1 RED FLAG
*need consistent patterns of pathology
provocation or stress tests are statistically good or poor?
the best!
over alignment/positional or mobility/functional tests
What are 6 stress tests for SI?
- FABER
- Distraction
- compression
- thigh thrust
- Gaenslen’s
- sacral thrust
what are 4 positional tests for SI?
- iliac crest heights
- ASIS heights
- PSIS heights
- isch tub heights
What are 4 mobility/functional tests for SI?
- Standing flexion
- seated flexion
- stork/marching/gillet
- supine to long sit test
What are 4 main forms of SI joint hypomobility?
- downslip
- upslip
- innominate rotation
- pubic lesion
TX for Si joint HYPOMOBILITY
manual + core ex
If I have pain in posterior sacrum (or groin),
radiating pain into thigh
increased pain with transitional movements
-pain with lumbar extension
-+ SI stress tests
+ compression test with SI belt
WHAT IS DX
sacroilitis!
SI joint arthritis
*treat with NSAIDs, ice, core and LE exercises
If I have a form closure problem (pelvic girdle instability), my ____ stability is not working
passive stability = form closure
*LIGAMENT/JOINT PROB
-bad friction coefficient/loose ligaments
If I have a lack of stability due to muscles not working well around my SI joint, I have a
force closure active stability problem
-TREAT WITH CORE STABILITY
which 4 muscles are providing external ACTIVE stability to SI joint?
erector spinae
glute max
lats
biceps femoris
which 4 muscles are providing INTERNAL active stability to SI joint? (force closure)
- TA
- sacral multifidi
- pelvic floor
- hip ER
____ fascia + muscle contractions have a ballooning effect to force close the SI joint
thoracolumbar fascia
