Pelvis/SIJ Anatomy, Biomechanics & Definitions Flashcards
Which supporting ligament of the SI joint is the weakest?
-ventral (anterior sacroiliac)
Which supporting ligament of the SI joint is the strongest?
-interosseous
anterior SIJ neurology
-ventral rami of L3-S1
posterior SIJ neurology
-posterior rami of L4-S2
sacroiliac motion
-movement of sacrum on the ilium
How is sacral motion described?
-by the way the anterior surface is facing
sacral nutation
- flexion
- relative movement of anterior tilt of the top of the sacrum on the ilium
- occurs during exhalation
sacral counternutation
- extension
- relative posterior tilt of the top of the sacrum on the ilium
- occurs during inhalation
anterior ilial rotation
-ASIS & pubis roll down, ischial tuberosity moves posterior & PSIS superiorly
posterior ilial rotation
-superior ilium rocks backwards & ASIS & pubis roll up, the ischial tuberosity moves anterior & the PSIS moves inferiorly
transverse plane osteokinematics of sacrum
- rotation (torsion)
- named by the direction the sacrum rotates TOWARD
- the unilateral movement of the sacral base occurs in transverse plane around an oblique axis
relationship of sacrum & innominate during sacral nutation
-innominate posteriorly rotates
relationship of sacrum & innominate during sacral counternutation
-innominate anteriorly rotates
How do the innominates rotate during trunk forward bending?
-rotate anteriorly
How do the innominates rotate during trunk backward bending?
-posteriorly
