* Prevents anterior innominate rotation

54
Q

The long dorsal SI ligament comes under tension when the sacral base is in a pathologically induced ____________ position.

A

counter-nutated

55
Q

True or false; the long dorsal SI ligament may inhibit the gluteus maximus

A

True due to arthrokinetic reflex.
Reflex weakness of the ipsilateral gluteus maximus. As a result, the hamstring becomes hypertonic which, through the biceps femoris/ sacrotuberous ligament connection, further counter-nutates the ipsilateral sacral base. This sets up a vicious cycle of pain, dysfunction and muscle weakness.

rotation

58
Q
