Sacral Somatic Dysfunction

Question 1

1st step of sacra SD

2nd step

Answer 1

Place fingers (static)
Motion testing

Question 2

Look at Sacral Torsion at what angle

Answer 2

L5

Question 3

Step 1 in static testing

Step 2 in static testing

Answer 3

Test Sacral Sulcus
Anterior Right SS = right side goes down more

Test inferior Lateral Angle

Question 4

3 types of motion tests

Answer 4

1. Lateralization
2. Active Motion
3. Passive Motion

Question 5

Lateralization

Answer 5

Seated + forward bending

Question 6

Active MT

Answer 6

Backward Bending

Respiratory Motion

Question 7

Passive MT

Answer 7

Lumbosacral Spring Test

Oblique Axis Passive Motion

Question 8

Seated Forward Bending Test (se FBT)

Answer 8

• fingers on PSIS pushing up
• pt bends forward
• • TEST : the one thumb that is moved upward
• shows you side of SD (not type)

Question 9

Bilateral Sacral SD has what Lateralization

Answer 9

• test

Question 10

Sacral Torsion and Lateralization

Answer 10

The + side is the opposite of the axis side

So if R is + then the L side is the axis for the torsion

Question 11

Backward Bending Test

Answer 11

• fingers on Sacral Sulcus (inside PSIS)
• pt lies down and push up back with elbows
• • test : sacrum flexes forward
• • TEST : sacrum doesn’t flex forward on both or one side (can look crooked)

Question 12

Respiratory MT

Answer 12

• place hands on sacrum
• INHALE : sacrum moves post , EXTENSION
• EXHALE : sacrum moves ant, FLEXION

Question 13

Lumbar Spring Test

Answer 13

• hand on lumbar spine, P down (extends lumbar + flexes sacrum)
• • test : FLEXED sacrum
• • TEST : EXTENDING sacrum

Question 14

Sacroiliac Rocking Oblique Axis Test

Purpose

Answer 14

• to confirm torsion

= find axis side : with greatest motion

Question 15

Sacroiliac Rocking Oblique Axis Test

How to do for left side

Answer 15

• left thumb : left ILA
• right thumb : right Sacral Sulcus (sacral base)
  = press down one at a time to see how much the sacrum likes to rotate
  (WITH LEFT AXIS)
  *switch to asses right axis

Question 16

Superior Transverse Axis

Answer 16

S2 posteriorly

Question 17

Middle Transverse Axis

Answer 17

S2 Anteriorly
Postural movement
* dysfunction here will cause BILATERAL FINDINGS

Question 18

Inferior Transverse Axis

Answer 18

S3

Innominate rotation

Question 19

SeFBT is positive for what Sacral Sulcus

Answer 19

The one that is flexed

Question 20

What 2 things do we need to look at fro torsion

Answer 20

1. L5 Rotation

2. Oblique lest

Question 21

L5 rotation should be what

Answer 21

Opposite of the sacral rotation, for balance

Question 22

L5 compensated and uncompensated

Answer 22

Uncompensated = L5 doesn’t rotate in opposite direction as sacrum 
Compensated = L5 rotates in opposite direction as sacrum + sidebends toward OBLIQUE AXIS

Question 23

L/L ST is what F or E and what is L5

Answer 23

FLEXED
Neutral L5 (type 1) rotated right + SB left

Question 24

R/R ST is what F or E and what is L5

Answer 24

F

Neutral type 1 rotated left + SB right

Question 25

L/R ST is what F or E and what is L5

Answer 25

EXTENDED

L5 is either extended or flexed (type2), rotated right + SB right

Question 26

R/L ST is what F or E and what is L5

Answer 26

EXTENDED

L5 is F or E Type 2, Rotated LEFT + SB LEFT

Question 27

R/R

Answer 27

RIGTH rotation

RIGTH Axis
