Sacrum evaluations

Question 1

8 point check

Answer 1

the normal expected movement when the patient raises the ipsilateral leg is for the PSIS to rotate posterior and inferior without posterior/ inferior rotation of the sacrum. the normal expected movement when the patient raises the contralateral leg is for the sacrum to rotate posterior/ inferior without posterior inferior rotation of the PSIS

Question 2

iliolumbar ligament movement

Answer 2

the normal expected movement is for the ilium to move posterior inferior without rotation of the L5 spinous to the opposite side

Question 3

pain with standing indicates what ligament

Answer 3

iliolumbar

Question 4

sacrotuberous ligament movement

Answer 4

the normal expected movement is for the ilium to move posterior and inferior without the supporting leg buckling

Question 5

pain with walking or traveling indicates what ligament

Answer 5

sacrotuberous

Question 6

sacrospinous ligament movement

Answer 6

the normal expected movement is for the ischial tuberosity to move lateral

Question 7

pain with sitting indicated what ligament

Answer 7

sacrospinous

Question 8

sitting axial rotation of the right or left SI joint movement

Answer 8

normal expected movement is for the ilium and sacrum to separate (or PSIS and S2 to separate)

Question 9

sitting right or left lateral flexion of the SI joint movement

Answer 9

normal expected movement is for the PSIS to remain level

Question 10

sitting forward flexion of the SI joint movement

Answer 10

normal expected movement is for the PSIS to remain level

Question 11

standing forward flexion of the right or left SI joint

Answer 11

normal expected movement is for the PSIS (ilium) and S4 (sacrum) to separate
