Module 1 Sacro pelvic Equine Flashcards
with a PI ilium the horse may move
away
with a AS ilium the horse may
lean into it
with no SI subluxation horse may
stand still
PI Ilium findings
high PSIS tuber sacrale on the side of the listing
functional long leg on the side of the listing
fixed SI joint on the side of the listing
PI Ilium - tuber sacrale
SCP - tuber sacrale
CP - supported pisiform of INFERIOR hand
ST - OPPOSITE the side of the listing high enough to maintain correct LOC
STAB - inherent in the standing horse
LOC - PA IS ML - toward ASIS on same side as listing
PI Ilium tuber coxae
SCP - tuber coxae CP - supported pisiform of INFERIOR hand ST - facing the horse on the same side of the listing high enough to maintain correct LOC STAB - inherent in the standing horse LOC - PA
AS Ilium findings
Low ASIS tuber coxae on the side of the listing with a high PSIS on the opposite side
Functional short leg on the side of the listing
Fixed SI joint on the side of the listing
AS Ilium tuber coxae
SCP - tuber coxae
CP - supported pisiform of SUPERIOR hand
ST - on the side of the listing in fencer stance
STAB - inherent in the standing horse
LOC - AP SI LM holding constant pressure with a thrust at the end
AS Ilium ischial tuberosity
SCP - dorsal portion of the ischial tuberosity
CP - supported pisiform of the SUPERIOR hand
ST - facing the horse on the side of the listing high enough to maintain correct LOC
STAB - inherent in the standing horse
LOC - PA
Sacral Base Posterior findings
decreased or lack of motion
usually accompanies altered biomechanics and lumbosacral subluxations
In general when adjusting sacropelvic region, adjust ______ first
sacrum
sacral base posterior
SCP - second sacral tubercle - first palpable in horse
CP - supported pisiform of SUPERIOR hand
ST - on either side facing the horse high enough to maintain correct LOC
STAB - inherent in the standing horse
LOC - PA perpendicular to the angle of the croup*****
Sacral Base posterior right or left
one side of sacrum statically palpates higher (posterior) than the other side
usually accompanies altered biomechanics and lumbosacral subluxations
Sacral Base Posterior Right or Left
SCP - lateral edge of the 2nd sacral tubercle
CP - pisiform or knife edge of the SUPERIOR hand
ST - facing the horse on the side of the listing high enough to maintain correct LOC
STAB - inherent in the standing horse
LOC - PA perpendicular to the angle of the croup***
Sacral Apex Left or Right fingdings
Horse may exhibit a pain response when sacral apex is motion palpated
Horse may hold the tail to one side or the other
