Q

What changes happen in cartilage at SIJ as you age?

A

shift from hyaline cartilage to fibrocartilage.

This leads to decreased motion

20
Q

Which ligament controls posterior rotation of pelvis?

A

sacrotuberous

21
Q

What sacral motion occurs with trunk extension?

A

flexion

22
Q

Which trunk motion occurs with sacral extension

A

flexion

23
Q

What is a positive active straight leg raise test?

A

ASLR strength improving with pelvic compression.

Indicative of joint hypermobility on weak side

24
Q

What may lead to false negative on ASLR?

A

not using weight.

Sometimes weight of leg is not enough to discern weakness

25
Q

Cluster of findings to seperate hypermobile pubis from hypomobile SIJ

A
positive ASLR
tenderness of superior pubic ligament
tenderness of psoas
tenderness of iliacus
tenderness of adductors
excessive motion of imaging
26
Q

SIJ CPR

A
Thigh thrust
compression
distraction
sacral thrust
Gaenslan

3/5= SN.91, Sp.87

Patients must not centralize to use CPR

27
Q

SIJ CPR 2

A
Distraction
Compression
FABER
thigh thrust
Gaenslan

if less than 3 are positive, between 72 and 99% chance of no SIJ pain

28
Q

Distraction and compression are (sensitive/specific) for pelvic fracture/instability?

A

sensitive

29
Q

Fortin test

A

When patient points at pain, should be within 1cm of PSIS

30
Q

Patrick test is also known as?

A

FABER

31
Q

Is hip scour more sensitive or specific?

A

sensitive

32
Q

Hip OA by restricted motion

A

3 or more planes of restricted motion

33
Q

Hip OA CPR

A
pain
IR less that 15

A
bilateral symptoms
leg pain worse than back pain
pain during standing/walking
pain relief with sitting
older than 48.

Sp: 3 test: .88

35
Q

Which level disc herniation is femoral nerve tension test hypothesized to be sensitive for

A

L4/5

36
Q

HABER test

A

can reproduce SIJ pain, may discriminate from LBP

37
Q

what percentage of SIJ pain has symptoms below the knee

A

40%

38
Q

What is most common location of pain with SIJ involvement?

A

slightly lateral and inferior to PSIS

39
Q

In posterior pelvic pain since pregnancy, is hip weakness thought to be due to muscle weakness, or difficulty using muscles

A

difficulty using muscles.

40
Q

in forward bending, what percentage of movement should be lumbar and what should be pelvid

A

50/50
