Sacral SD Flashcards
On examination, right sacral sulcus is deep, L5 is rotated right, and the ILA is posterior/caudal on the left.
right sacral sulcus is deep
L5 right transverse process will be shallow.. or rotated right
What is the lateralization method for sacral testing?
Active motion?
Passive motion?
Seated forward bending test
Backward bending test, respiratory motion
Lumbosacral spring
Oblique axis passive motion
what does lateralization help show?
what if its negative?
unilateral or torsion
if negative, it’s bilateral dysfunction
what do active motion tests tell?
if they’re flexed or extended.
sphinx test, if it gets worse, what is it?
gets better?
positive bending test = stuck in extension
stuck more forward, stuck in flexion.
Positive Lumbar spring test?
negative?
mean you have an extended sacrum = means you don’t have spring.. extended
if you have spring, it’s negative which means its flexed
Forward torsion possibilities?
L on L
R on R
Backward torsion possibilities?
L on R
R on L
all of the tests.. what’s going to give you a L on L?
SeFBt?
LS?
BBT?
L5?
Positive lumbar seated flexion on the right.
Negative lumbar spring
negative backward bending test –> gets better symmetry so it’s flexed forward
always sidebands towards the axis so L5 would be rotated right sidebent left because the right sulcus is deep.
L on Right.. what are all the tests going to be?
SeFBT?
LS?
BBT?
L5?
L on R would mean the left sacral sulcus is posterior. right axis
SeFBT positive on the left
LS +
BBT +
L5 = RrSr
Right Flexed Sacrum.. what are all the tests going to be?
SeFBT?
LS?
BBT?
Positive on the right
LS negative
BBT negative
L5
should rotate in the opposite direction of the sacrum
if it’s not rotated in the opposite direction, L5 is uncompensated and should be treated first before sacral dysfunction
L5 on a torsion?
L5 sidebands towards the oblique axis of a torsion
