SIJ Flashcards
The sacrohorizontal angle is ___ degrees.
40 degrees: the angle between the horizontal plane and superior surface of the sacrum at L5/S1
The base of the sacrum is naturally inclined (anteriorly/posteriorly) and (superiorly/inferiorly) when standing.
anteriorly, inferiorly
The sacrohorizontal angle provides ____ and ____ forces.
anterior shear and compression forces
The greater the lumbar lordosis, the (lesser/greater) the sacrohorizontal angle
greater
What is the largest axial joint in the body that transfers the load between the LEs and spine?
SIJ
The SIJ is designed for (stability/mobility)
stability
The SIJ has ___ degrees of freedom.
6 degrees
(true/false) no muscles are designated to move the SIJ in active motions.
true
Movement at the SIJ happens as a result of ___ and ___ acting on the trunk and LEs.
gravity
muscles
What stabilizes the joints of the SIJ?
pelvic floor muscles
How many degrees is SIJ FLX/EXT?
3 degrees
How many degrees is SIJ axial ROT
1.5 degrees
How many degrees is SIJ lateral bending?
0.8 degrees
SIJ motion is greater in (single/double)-leg stance
single-leg stance
Describe anterior torsion.
Innominate rotates anteriorly
ASIS moves inferiorly
PSIS moves superiorly
Inferior and posterior glide of ilium on the sacrum
When does anterior torsion occur?
unilaterally with EXT of the freely swinging leg
Describe posterior torsion.
Innominate rotates posteriorly
ASIS moves superiorly
PSIS moves inferiorly
When does posterior torsion occur?
unilaterally with hip FLX (OKC)–> superior/anterior glide of ilium on sacrum
Unilaterally with single leg stance –> superior/posterior glide of ilium on the sacrum
Describe inflares.
Innominate rotates inward on sacrum
ASIS moves medially
PSIS moves laterally
Describe outflares.
Innominate rotates outward on sacrum
ASIS moves laterally
PSIS moves medially
Describe up-slip.
Superior translation of innominate on sacrum
Describe down-slip.
Inferior translation of innominate on sacrum
Describe nutation.
Sacrum glides posterior inferior on innominate
Another way to describe this is:
Anterior sacral flexion on posterior iliac rotation (anterior sacral tilt)
Describe counter-nutation.
Sacrum glides anteriorsuperior on innominate
Another way to describe this is:
Posterior sacral extension on iliac rotation (Posterior sacral tilt)
What is the origin of the transversus abdominis?
internal surface of costal cartilages 7-12
thoracolumbar fascia
iliac crest
connective tissue deep to the lateral 1/3 on inguinal ligament
What is the insertion of the transversus abdominis?
linea alba
aponeurosis of internal oblique
pubic crest
pecten pubis
What is the INNV of the transversus abdominis?
thoracoabdominal nerves (T6-T12)
1st lumbar nerve
What are the origins of the erector spinae?
broad tendon
posterior sacrum
SI ligament
lumbar SPs
sacral SPs
supraspinous ligament
What is the insertion of the iliocostalis?
angles of lower ribs
cervical TPs
