sacrum. 2 Flashcards
sacral testing 4 static tests
- sacral sulcus
- L5 rotation
- Infeior lateral angle
- 4 digit exam
how to palpate sacral sulcus
- palpate PSIS w thumbbs
- Move fingers medially. and inferiorly
- check. for symettry
palpate inferior lateral. angle
- Palpate with the heel of the hand in midline down sacrum until it drops anteriorly
- Place one thumb near the thenar eminence to feel the inferior lateral angle of the sacrum 3. Place the other thumb roughly symmetrical to the first
- Adjust slightly to find the inferior lateral angle
- Compare each side for posterior/anterior and cephalad/caudal (inferior/superior)
4 digit. eval
- Place first fingers in sacral sulci
- Thumbs in ILA
3 stypes of static testing
- Laterization
- Active motion
- Passive motion
laterilization
seated forward bending test
active motion
backward bending test
resiratory motion. test
passive motion test
- lumbosacral sping test
- Oblique axis passive motion
Laterization test
+
-
+ -> side of dynsunction
–> bilateral dysfunction
results of a laterilzation. test for torsion
+ test
will be side that i s the opposite. side of axis
SeFBT we put. thumbs where?
inferior aspect o f. PSIS
and watch thumb to see which one moves more cephalad
BBT Sphinx
looks at
technique
F/E.
- Dom eye at level of sacral sulci
- put thumbs in sacral sulci and note symmetry.
- tell pt to bend back
+-> sacral sulcus is assymetrical or. gets worse -> extended
- test-> flexed sacrume
tecnique for resp motion test
- place cephalad hand over with thenar/ hypothenar eminance at the sacral base and fingertips at apex
- Plat other hand on top in opposite diretion
- exaggerate inhalation a nd exhaleion
bilateral sacral base should move _______ during inhalation and _____ during exhalation
Inhalation-> posteiror
Exhalation-> anterior
oblique axis motion test
look at oblique axis of motion
prone with doc. on shi
- monitoring finger at sacral sulcus
- heel of opp hand at contralateral. ILA
- Apply. anterior pressure with heel of hand at. ILA while moting for posterior motion at the opp sulcus
- Repeat on opp sulcus a nd ILA
Suoeprior transverse axis is located. at
S2 posterirly
