Q

how does the rest of the sacrum develop

A
  1. 2-5. yo: vertebral arch fuses with adjacent costal part.
  2. 8 yo: unite with centrum
  3. After puberty, epiphyseal plates (which seperate sacral segments), fuse sequentially, behingin with the lowest and working up.
  4. Dura will attach at the 2nd sacral segment

Q

SI joint

2nd decade of life

A

Stability increases and mobility. decerases

because a ceresent. shaped ridge develops on the iliac surface

and it interacts with sacrum

Q

movement of long dorsal SI L.

A

stretched when the sacrum is rotated in a posterior manner relative to the ilium (counternutation)

  • ex. early. pregnancy,
  • aging and degerative changes,
  • backward torsions or unilarteral/bilateral sacral extension

Q

Sciatic nerve in relationship to the piriformis muscle

A

Sciatica. can be caused by. piriformis hypertonicity d/t chemical reaction that irrates peroneal fibers of sciatic nerve.

Thus, reffered pain down posterior though

25
Q

_________ muscles can affect SI joint stability

A

postural

26
Q

Posterioly, what. postural musles affect SI joint stabilityl

A

lat. dorsi

thoracolumbar fascia

glut max

ITB

27
Q

ventrally, waht. muscles affect SI joint stability

A

abdominal obliques

linea alba

transverse abdominals

28
Q

in STANDING and SITTING, what. muscles are signifant

A

oblique abdominal muscles (internal obliques)

29
Q

How can we help ppl w low back bain and SI syndrome

A

therapeutic excerseize

and osteopathic treatment for the core lumbar and pelvic muscles

30
Q

what. is the motion of the sacrum?

A

move around 1 or more axis

-2 oblique axis named accoriding to te side of the body the superior end is at.

31
Q

Motion about an oblique axis may actually result through motions occurring about a

A

1. vertical AP

2. Transverse sacral axis (rotation and SB combo)

32
Q

what a re the hypothetlical axis of motion of sacrum?

A

1. Superior Transverse (repiratory) axis

2. MT (postural) axis

4. IT (pelvic/iliac) axis

33
Q

What is MT (postural axis)

A

transverse axis of nutation and coutnernutation in the standinng oisution

-anterior aspect of S2

34
Q

IT (pelvic/iliac axis)

A

Transverse axis at S3 and is the axis for moveement of ilia on sacrum

35
Q

what is the relationship between lumbar spine and sacral base?

A

RECIPRICOL RELATIONSJHIP!

  1. Lumbar flexion-> sacral extension (postioer structures of lumbar spine move aneterior, sacral base moves posterior and apex moves anterior)
  2. Lumbar extension -> sacral flexion (as posterior lumbar structures move posterior, sacral base moves anterior)
36
Q

Sacral extension is also called (_________)

Base->

Apex->

A

counternutation

base-> posterior

apex -> anterior

37
Q

what is nutation?

A

sacral flexion

38
Q

what is the principal of sacral motion?

A

all movements of sacrum on ilium are GLIDING movements: flexion, extension, rotation, SB, gliding up and down.

39
Q

Downward force transmitted from the lumbar region glides the sacrum ______ and causes _______.

A

downward

nutation

40
Q

Traction applied from above the LS junction glides the sacrum ______ and causes

A

upward

counternutation

41
Q

Rotation applied through the lumbar spine causes the sacrum to rotate towards the _________ and sidebends towards the _______

A

rotate-> ipsilateral side

SB-> contralateral side

42
Q

Sidebending applied through the lumbar spine causes the sacrum to sidebend towards the ___________ side…

rotation>

A

ipsilateral side

rotation. is inconsistent.

43
Q

Flexion/Extension

gliding Upward/Downward ROM is ___________ than rotation or sidebending.

A

GRESTER

44
Q

dpes the ilium move in the same direction as the sacrum?

A

Yes, but to a lesser degree

45
Q

a restricted inferior occipital condylar part is related to a_______________
