27
Q

What kind of joint is the SIJ?

A

Synovial joint

28
Q

What are the two layers of the joint capsule of the SIJ?

A

External fibrous layer and inner synovial layer

29
Q

Can we palpate the SIJ depth?

A

NO

30
Q

What is different about the SIJ in early life?

A

Surfaces generally flat

31
Q

What is different about the SIJ during puberty?

A

Surfaces develop ridges/grooves and enhance stability

32
Q

What are the osteo/arthrokinematics of the iliac crests on the sacrum?

A

Iliac crests move on the sacrum = innominate motion/iliosacral

33
Q

What are the osteo/arthrokinematics of the sacrum on the iliac crests?

A

Sacrum moves on innominates = sacroiliac motion

34
Q

How much posterior rotation of the SIJ when NWB?

A

10-12 degrees innominate posterior rotation couples with 6mm anterior translation

35
Q

How much anterior rotation of the SIJ with NWB?

A

2 degrees innominate anterior rotation coupled with 8mm anterior translation

36
Q

How much innominate rotation of the SIJ when WB?

A

2.5 degrees innominate rotation and 0.5-1.6mm translation

37
Q

When does motion at the SIJ occur?

A

During movements of the trunk and extremities

38
Q

What are the 3 planes of motion at the SIJ?

A

FLX/EXT, Lateral flexion, rotation

39
Q

How many degrees for rotation at SIJ? Translation?

A

2-4 degrees for rotation and 1-2mm translation

40
Q

What is the closed packed position of the SIJ?

A

Full nutation (flexion), standing when loaded, gravity/ligs/muscles

41
Q

When is the SIJ unloaded?

A

When supine, sacrum tends to return to counternutation or less stable

42
Q

What does nutation mean?

A

Nodding

43
Q

When does bilateral movement of the sacrum occur?

A

With forward/backwards bending of the trunk

44
Q

When does unilateral motion of the sacrum occur?

A

With flexion/extension of the LEs

45
Q

What is sacral nutation relative to the innominates?

A

The forward motion of the sacral promontory into the pelvis on the coronal axis; anteriorly and inferiorly

  • glides inferiorly down the short arm and posteriorly along the long arm
46
Q

What is sacral nutation resisted by?

A

Wedge shape of sacrum, ridges/depressions in joint surface, interosseous and sacrotuberous ligaments

47
Q

What is sacral counternutation relative to the innominates?

A

Sacral base moves posteriorly and superiorly; glides anteriorly along long arm and superiorly up short arm

48
Q

What is sacral counternutation resisted by?

A

Long dorsal ligament

49
Q

Why is sacral counternutation considered less stable?

A

Because ST and Interosseous ligaments are lax

50
Q

What does the sacrum do with forward bend?

A

Sacrum counternutates

51
Q

What does the sacrum do with lumbar extension?

A

Sacrum nutates

52
Q

During gait, what does the sacrum do?

A

One side nutates with side bend and induces rotation, which becomes a coupled motion called sacral torsion

53
Q

What is the superior axis used for?

A

Breathing - inhale base forward and coccys/ILA posterior; L/S flexes; reverses with exhale

54
Q

What is the middle axis used for?

A

Nutation (flexion) and counternutation (extension); postural

55
Q

What is the inferior transverse axis used for?

A

Ilia on sacral movements

56
Q

What is the vertical axis used for?

A

Unilateral rotation

57
Q

What are torsions?

A

Motions or can be a dysfunction /sacrum in a ‘stuck’ position

58
Q

What are the two types of torsions?

A

physiological motions
non physiological motions

59
Q

What are physiological motion?

A

anterior motion fixation/ nutation

60
Q

What are non-physiological motions?

A

Posterior motion fixation/counter-nutation

61
Q

What are the two types of physiological motions?

A

1.) L on L (look left and nutates)
2.) R on R (look right and nutates)

62
Q

What are the two types of non-physiologcial motions?

A

3.) L on R ( comes backwards, looks left because rotates on right axis)
4.) R on L (sacrum tips back to look right, moves on left axis)

63
Q

Which types of torsion is painful?

A

Non-physiological

64
Q

What kind of torsion does not occur in the normal gait cycle?

A

Posterior nutational movement

65
Q

In the normal walking cycle, what torsion DOES happen?

A

The sacrum appears to move with left torsion on the left oblique axis, return to neutral, rotate in right torsion on the right oblique axis and then return to normal
