Q

What is the Hip Test for SIJ involvement?

A

The Hip Test involves placing the leg in a figure-four position and applying pressure to assess SIJ-related pain.

17
Q

What are motor control/stabilization exercises for SIJD?

A
  • gluteus maximus strengthening
  • supine clamshells
  • resisted hip hinge exercises
18
Q

What are mobilization techniques for SIJD?

A

Mobilization techniques include manual therapy techniques like muscle energy techniques and joint mobilizations.

19
Q

What is the use of SI joint belts and kinesiotaping?

A

SI joint belts and kinesiotaping provide external support to the SIJ, helping stabilize and reduce pain.

20
Q

What are muscle energy techniques for anterior innominate rotation?

A

These techniques involve the patient resisting against the therapist’s force to correct the anterior rotation of the innominate.

21
Q

What is the upslip correction technique?

A

Upslip correction involves applying traction to the leg to pull the pelvis down, often combined with muscle energy contractions.

22
Q

What is the treatment for innominate outflare?

A

Treatment includes placing the leg in adduction and internal rotation, and resisting against abduction to correct the outflare.

23
Q

What is the treatment for innominate inflare?

A

Treatment includes abducting the thigh and resisting against adduction to correct the inflare.

24
Q

What are manual correction techniques for pubic symphysis?

A

Techniques include resisted abduction and adduction exercises to realign the pubic symphysis.

25
Q

What are specific exercises for SIJ stability?

A

Exercises include bridges, clamshells, resisted hip movements, and pelvic floor strengthening exercises.

26
Q

How effective are physiotherapy interventions for SIJD?

A

Physiotherapy interventions like manipulation, exercise, and kinesiotape are effective in reducing pain and disability associated with SIJD.

27
Q

What is the role of specific stabilizing exercises in reducing pain and disability?

A

Specific stabilizing exercises target deep and superficial muscles to improve stability and reduce pain.

28
Q

What are non-mechanical sources of SIJ pain?

A

Non-mechanical sources include ankylosing spondylitis, reactive arthritis, and psoriatic arthritis.

29
Q

How does ankylosing spondylitis relate to SIJ pain?

A

Ankylosing spondylitis can cause inflammation and pain in the SIJ, often affecting younger males.

30
Q

What is reactive arthritis (Reiter’s Syndrome)?

A

Reactive arthritis is an inflammatory condition that affects the joints, including the SIJ, and is characterized by conjunctivitis, urethritis, and arthritis.

31
Q

How does psoriatic arthritis affect the SIJ?

A

Psoriatic arthritis can cause pain and inflammation in the SIJ, contributing to lower back pain.

32
Q

How should SIJD be managed during pregnancy?

A

Management includes exercises for pelvic stability, use of SI belts, and gentle manual therapy techniques.

33
Q

What is the impact of age on SIJ mobility?

A

Mobility decreases with age, with higher rates of ankylosis in older males compared to females.

34
Q

What is the evidence against the ‘bone out of place’ model?

A

Current literature does not support the ‘bone out of place’ model, favoring pain provocation tests over asymmetry evaluations.

35
Q

Why are pain provocation tests preferred over asymmetry evaluations?

A

Pain provocation tests have higher reliability and diagnostic accuracy for SIJD compared to asymmetry evaluations.

36
Q

What are the guidelines for selecting therapeutic exercises for SIJD?

A

Therapeutic exercises should be selected based on whether the joint is too tight or too loose, aiming to diversify the patient’s movement patterns.

37
Q

What is the Sacroiliac Joint Exercise Algorithm?

A

The algorithm involves using SI belts, stability exercises, and specific maneuvers like Gaenslen’s manipulation to address SIJ pain.

38
Q

What is the role of pelvic floor exercises in SIJ pain management?

A

Pelvic floor exercises help stabilize the SIJ, reducing pain and improving function.
