Q

Describe the procedure of seated sacroiliac flexion.

A
  • Doctor places thumb pads at the inferior aspects of both PSISs and the hands rest around the lateral iliac crests.
  • The doctor then notes the position of the thumbs relative to one another. The patient is instructed to flex forward. As the patient flexes forward the doctor’s thumbs follow the arcing motion of the PSISs.
  • When the patient is flexed forward, the doctor notes the relative position of the thumbs.

Q

Describe the procedure of sacroiliac fluid motion.

A
  • Doctor stands on the side opposite of the sacroiliac joint to be checked. Doctor’s stance is a modified scissor stance with the inferior leg across from the PSIS and the doctor is angled facing the acetabulum on the side tested.
  • The doctor will locate the superior and medial aspect of the PSIS to be tested.
  • The doctor will take a superior to inferior and medial to lateral tissue pull (TP) with the stabilization hand toward the superior medial PSIS (SCP).
  • The tissue pull will ensure a secure contact on the SCP.
  • Once the doctor has taken the tissue pull (TP), the doctor will place the hook of hamate of the contact hand on the superior medial PSIS, keeping the hand semi-arched. The doctor will then wrap the stabilization hand around the contact hand and maintain equal elbow bend.
  • Doctor will press into the joint at a 45 degree angle toward the acetabulum.

Q

Describe the procedure of the knee raiser.

A
  • Doctor places thumb pads at the inferiomedial aspects of left and right PSISs and the hands rest around the lateral iliac crests region for added support of the patient. Doctor instructs the patient to flex the knee to 90 degrees. As the patient flexes the knee, the doctor’s thumbs are following the arcing motion of both PSISs.
  • The patient is then instructed to raise the opposite knee as the doctor’s thumbs follow the motion of both PSISs.
