Steps for pelvis DX
1- lateralization test (standing flexion test and ASIS compression test) - name the SD based on laterization test!!!!
2- seat the pelvis - pt supine
3- assess anterior landmarks (ASIS & pubic tubercles)\
4- pt prone - seat pelvis
5- assess posterior landmarks (PSIS)
6- stick to your guns
Stick to your guns
Index finger is ASIS
Thumb is PSIS
Right Anterior Innominate Rotation
Dysfunction is on Right
Right ASIS inferior
Right PSIS Superior
Remember Anterior Innominate rotation causes a longer leg
Right Posterior Innominate Rotation
Dysfunction is on R
Right ASIS Superior
Right PSIS Inferior
Remember posterior innominate rotation causes a shorter leg
Right Superior Innominate Shear
Dysfunction is on R
Right ASIS superior
Right PSIS superior
Right Inferior Innominate Shear
Dysfunction is on R
R ASIS inferior
R PSIS inferior
Right innominate inflare
Dysfunction is on R
R ASIS medial (compared to left)
Right innominate outflare
Dysfunction is on R
R ASIS Lateral (compared to L)
Right superior pubic shear
dysfunction is on R
R pubic tubercle superior
Tender pubic symphysis
Right interior pubic shear
Dysfunction in on the R
R pubic tubercle inferior
Tender pubic symphysis
Anterior Innominate ME or inferior pubic shear (Set up and CI)
Flex hip to restricted barrier
Pull anteriorly on ischial tuberosity
activation - Pt extends at hip
CI - acute pelvis fracture, SI joint inflammation, severe hip arthritis
Anterior innominate thrust - supine
grasp left above ankle, lift leg to 30 degrees hip flexion, abduct and internally rotate
Pt take deep breath and then quick tug
CI - acute SI sprain, hip or knee instability, SI joint hypermobility
Posterior Innominate ME (also can use with superior pubic shear)
extend hip to restricted barrier
Hold contralateral ASIS
activation - pt flexes hip
CI - acute pelvis fracture, SI joint inflammation, Severe hip arthritis
Posterior innominate thrust (can use on superior innominate shear)
grasp leg at ankle, abduct and internally rotate, then have pt breath in and out and tug
CI - acute SI sprain, hip or knee instability, SI joint hypermobility
Ilium Inflare ME
abduct hip to restricted barrier, hold contralateral ASIS
Activation - pt adducts knee
CI - acute pelvis fracture, SI joint inflammation, severe hip arthritis
Ilium outflare ME
adduct hip to restricted barrier, pull laterally on PSIS
Activation - pt abducts knee
Pubic ME/Thrust
for pubic symphysis compression or shear
TX - have pt put knees together, then push their knees apart against resistance, separate pt knees and have pt push their knees together against resistance
repeat 3-5 times
Thrust - short and quick lateral push to overcome the patient pushing their knees together
Piriformis Syndrome
presentation: aching lbp aggravated by sitting, paresthesia down ipsilateral posterior thigh
OSE: piriformis TP and hypertonicity, positive SLR test
Action of piriformis - externally rotates femur with hip extension and abducts femur with hip flexion
Psoas Syndrome
presentation - flexed to one side, lbp made worse with extension, inability to lay prone
OSE: TP 1 inch medial and slightly inferior to ASIS, ipsilateral restricted hip extension
action of psoas - flexes thigh at hip joint, flexes trunk
Iliolumbar Ligament Syndrome
function: restrict motion of the lumbosacral junction
Presentation: lbp made worse with flexion, referred pain to ipsilateral groin, hip, SI region, and lateral thigh
OSE: tenderness on iliac crest 1 inch superior and lateral to PSIS
Short Leg Syndrome
presentation: back, hip and leg pain
OSE: short leg side- forward sacral torsion, convex lumbar curve , compensatory anterior innominate shear
Long leg side - pelvic, side shift, pronated foot, concave lumbar curve
Unlevel sacral base can cause scoliosis - acute -> C scoliotic response & chronic - S scoliotic response
Celiac Plexus T5-9
esophagus and upper GI organs
Superior mesenteric plexus T10-11
small bowel, appendix, right colon
Inferior mesenteric T12-L2

Tension headaches are usually?
Bilateral
worse with flexion due to stretch
Cervicogenic headaches are usually?
unilateral
Worse with extension due to arthralgia or neuralgia
Vertebral artery challenge screens for?
vertebral insufficiency
rotation compresses opposite vertebral artery
Direct treatments for upper cervical somatic dysfunctions are CI when?
positive cervical compression or vertebral artery challenge tests
Sacral motion
Sacral Base anterior
anatomical flexion
forward bending
occurs when SBS of the head is in extension
Sacral motion - sacral base posterior
anatomical extension
backward bending
occurs when SBS of the head is in flexion
Sacral Landmarks
Sacral Base & Inferior Lateral Angle
sacral base - medial to PSIS (identify one that is anterior)
ILA - palpated lateral to the base of coccyx (identify side that is more posterior and/or inferior)
