SIJ/Pelvis Flashcards
Would increased or decreased activation of gluteus maximus and biceps femoris lead to SIJ stiffness?
increased
Impaired gluteus maximus and biceps femoris motor control may lead to what at SIJ
functional laxity
What changes happen in cartilage at SIJ as you age?
shift from hyaline cartilage to fibrocartilage.
This leads to decreased motion
The transverse acetabular ligament is a continuation of what structure?
labrum
What ligament is engaged with optimal sitting position, and what effect does this have on SIJ
sacrotuberous ligament in engaged due to sacral nutation. Lead to SIJ stability
How innervated is the SIJ
highly innervated
How can SIJ radiate pain?
L5 and all sacral dermatomes/myotomes
which nerve root passes through piriformis?
S2
How high does force on swing leg get during SLS
3-4x body weight
Which muscle group has long lever arm to overcome forward bend forces?
erector spinae
What is role of multifidus in producing extensor torque?
tension erector spinae aponeurosis and correct motions/support specific joints
What limits force production by multifius?
short length
What muscle recruitment pattern is more common in response to LBP?
hamstring dominant pattern
With LBP, what happens to gluteal musculature?
inhibited.
What muscle groups triangulate to stabilize ribs/spine with compression
rectus abdominus
QL
erector spinae
When hip is flexing, can psoas provide stabilization at spine?
yes, can provide compressive forces
Which hip motions is coupled with pelvic anterior rotation?
hip extension
Which pelvic motion is coupled with hip flexion?
posterior rotation
Which ligament controls anterior rotation of pelvis?
long posterior sacroiliac ligament
