Lumbosacral Flashcards
Which sacral axis is impacted by respiration?
Superior transverse
Which sacral axis is impacted by lumbosacral motion?
Middle transverse
Which sacral axis is impacted by gait?
Inferior transverse
During heal strike to foot flat, the inferior transverse axis of the sacrum is rotated…
Posteriorly
During midstance to toe off the inferior transverse axis is rotated
Anteriorly
What are the 2 directions for forward sacral torsion?
R/R
L/L
What are the 2 directions for backward sacral torsion?
R/L
L/R
If L5 is in the position of FRS R, where is the sacrum?
L/R BST
If L5 is in the position of FRS L, what is the position of the sacrum?
R/L BST
If L5 is in the position of ERS R, where is the sacrum?
L/L FST
If L5 is in a position of ERS L, what is the position of the sacrum?
R/R FST
When L5 extends, the sacrum…
Nutates
When L5 flexes, the sacrum…
Counter-nutates
When the sacrum rotates L and side bends R, L5…
Rotates right and side bends left
When the sacrum rotates right and sidebends left, L5…
Rotates left and side bends right
When the lumbar spine extends, SB left and rotates left, the sacrum…
Anteriorly nutates on the left, rotates right on the right oblique axis
When the lumbar spine is in extension and right side bending and right rotating, the sacrum…
Anteriorly nutating on the right rotating left on left oblique axis
Forward sacral torsion can be described as (anterior/posterior) sacral base nutation
Anterior
What is the position of an R FST?
Right sacral base nutated anteriorly
What is the restriction of a R FST?
Right sacral base counter-nutation (lower> upper SIJ)
What is the L5 adaptation for a R FST?
Extended, SB and rotated R
What is the spine doing above a R FST?
SB left rotates R
