positive finding for anterior innominate test
local pain over the SI joint
what could be causing SI joint pain in anterior innominate test

supported adam’s test a.k.a
belt test
pain only during the first part of the belt test indicates
SI joint problem
pain during the first and second part of the belt test indicates
lumbar spine problem
patient prone, doctor compresses the SI joints by applying pressure to the PSIS’s with the thenar or thumbs (double IN ilium)
erichsen’s test
what could be causing SI joint pain in a positive erichsen’s test
stress being placed on the anterior SI joint ligaments
patient supine, doctor stands on affected side and brings the unaffected knee up toward the patient’s chest. doctor slowly hyper-extends the affected knee
gaenslen’s test
patient supine, doctor palpates L5 and S1 and uses the other hand to elevate the affected leg
goldthwait’s sign
pain before L5-S1 separation on goldthwait’s test indicates
SI joint problem
pain after the L5-S1 separation on goldthwait’s test indicates
lumbar spine problem
patient prone, doctor flexes knee to 90 degrees and internally rotates the femur by pushing the foot laterally
hibb’s test
what is the doctor looking for during hibb’s test
femoral head or acetabular problems
patient lies on unaffected side and the doctor compresses the iliac crest toward the table
iliac compression test
what could be causing the pain during an iliac compression test
sprain of posterior SI ligaments
gold standard to find SI pain
iliac compression test
SI joint problems normally cause neurologic deficits
FALSE
patient lies on their unaffected side and brings their unaffected knee toward their chest. the doctor slowly hyper-extends the affected thigh
lewin gaenslen test
a positive lewin gaenslen test
SI joint pain or muscle tightness
patient lies prone and doctor applies pressure on the base of the sacrum with one hand and places the other under the ipsilateral knee and lifts the knee off of the table (extending the thigh)
yeoman’s test
a positive yeoman’s test
pain in SI joint and muscle tightness
What could be causing the pain in a positive yeoman’s test? (3)
- stress on anterior SI ligaments
- femoral nerve irritation
- iliopsoas or rectus femoris muscle contracture
