16
Q

This ligament

goes from ischial spine to lateral margins of the sacrum where it blends with the sacrotuberous ligament

Forms part of the origin from which coccygeus muscle arises

A

Sacrospinous

17
Q

Which two ligaments serve to stabilize the limit of the posterior-superior rotation of the sacral apex around a transverse axis?

A

Sacrospinous and sacrotuberous

18
Q

________ hypertonicity can cause ______. Evidence indicates that this may not be due to pressure, but to a chemical reaction that irritates peroneal fibers of the sciatic nerve. For this reason, there is referred pain down the posterior thigh.

A

Piriformis

sciatica

19
Q

What are the posterior pelvic landmarks that are used to diagnose an SD?

A
PSIS 
AIIS 
ILA 
L5 SP and TP 
Sacral sulci
20
Q

Differentiate between form and force closure of the self locking mechanism of the sacrum

A

Form closure is simply how everything articulates with each other, how the bones connect

Force closure is the effect of the muscles, and the loading forces that are present from the body

21
Q

What are the posterior belt like effect muscles?

A

Latisimus dorsi, the thoracolumbar fascia, gluteus maximus, and the ITB.

22
Q

What are the ventral SI belt like muscles?

A

abdominal obliques, the linea alba, and the transverse abdominals.

23
Q

How are the oblique axes named in regards to the sacrum?

A

Named according to the side of the body toward which the superior end of the oblique axis is located.

24
Q

The ____ _______ ______ is a transverse axis about which the sacrum moves during the respiratory cycle and inherently due to PRM in OCMM. It passes from side to side through the articular processes posterior to the point of attachment of the dura at S2.

A

Superior Transverse (REspiratory) Axis

25
Q

The _____ ______ ______ axis is functional transverse axis of nutation & counternutation in the standing position, passing through the anterior aspect of S2.

A

Middle Transverse (Postural) axis

26
Q

The _______ _______ ______ is the functional transverse axis at the level of S3 through the inferior auricular surface, and represents the axis for movement of the ilia on the sacrum.

A

IT (Pelvic/ilial) axis

27
Q

What movements (lumbar and sacral) are being described here?

As the posterior structures of the lumbar spine move anteriorly, the sacral base moves posteriorly (apex anteriorly).

A

Lumbar flexion and sacral extension

28
Q

What movements (lumbar and sacral) are being described here?

As the posterior structures of the lumbar spine move posteriorly, the sacral base moves anteriorly (apex posteriorly).

A

Lumbar extension and sacral flexion

29
Q

In sacral extension, the base tips _____ and the apex moves _____

A

posteriorly

anteriorly

30
Q

Describe sacral flexion

A

Base Tips Anteriorly

Apex Moves Posteriorly

31
Q

All of the movements of the sacrum on the ilium are ______ movements.

A

gliding

32
Q

Rotation applied through the lumbar spine causes the sacrum to rotate towards the _______ side and sidebends towards the _______side.

A

ipsilateral

contralateral

33
Q

Sidebending applied through the lumbar spine causes the sacrum to sidebend towards the ______side…rotation direction during sidebending may be inconsistent.

A

ipsilateral

34
Q

The ilium always moves in the _____ direction of the sacrum

A

SAME

35
Q

________ is A transitional segment in which the first sacral segment becomes like an additional lumbar vertebra articulating with the second sacral segment.

A

lumbarization

36
Q

_______ is an Incomplete separation and differentiation of the fifth lumbar vertebra (L5) such that it takes on characteristics of a sacral vertebra.

A

sacralization
