Q

A patient shows a positive AP Compression test on the left, what do you see?

A

The left side has the greatest resistance to pressure on the ASIS, and thus is the side of somatic dysfunction

Q

A female patient presents with a left positive AP compression test, right ASIS and right PSIS superior, what type of somatic dysfunction does she have?

A

left inferior innominate shear

17
Q

What are the symptoms of an innominate shear?

A

pelvic pain
sacroiliac pain
pain at the PSIS

18
Q

What are the causes of a innominate shear?

A

Traumatic
–Stepping down too hard on foot
–Missing a step or a curb
–Falling on buttocks

Sitting unevenly on a surface for extended periods of time

19
Q

What is an innominate flare? How do you test for it?

A

Movement of the ilium around a superior-inferior axis.
Measurement is made from the xiphoid processor umbilicus to each ASIS and the flare is named non the side of the positive test of laterality.
