Term
Definition
primary stabilizing ligaments of the SI Joint   Physically cross the SI joint; iliolumbar ligaments, ant sacroiliac ligament, short & long post sacroiliac ligaments, interosseus ligament  
🗑
secondary stabilzers   stabilize, but don't physically cross SI joint; sacrospinous & sacrotuberous ligaments  
🗑
iliolumbar ligaments   transv processes of L4 & L5 to iliac crests/sacral ala; strong bonds btwn L5 & ilium; stabilize lumbosacral joint; reinforce ant side of SI joint; decrs shearing btwn L4/L5 & sacrum  
🗑
ant sacroiliac ligaments   thickening of ant & inf regions of capsule  
🗑
interosseous ligament   deep to short posterior SI ligaments; fills gap of post & sup margins of SI joint; blends into capsule  
🗑
sacrotuberous ligament   PSIS, Inf lat angle of the sacrum, & the lat sacrum/coccyx to the ischial tuberosities  
🗑
sacrospinous ligament   controls lat/torsional strain & rotational strain; pelvic floor muscs have attachments to this ligament  
🗑
sxs of SI joint dysfxn   pain in lower lumbar & med buttock area; may be pain in the post thigh; wider distribution of pain  
🗑
symphysis pubis   end of each pubic bone is covered w/ articular cartilage, but joint itself contains a fibrocartilaginous disc.  
🗑
ant stabilization of symphysis pubis   musc expansion of TA, rectus abd, int abd oblique, & adductor longus muscs that forms an ant "ligament" restricting ant translation/shear  
🗑
pelvic floor   shares innervation with the TA musc; therefore, both TA & pelvic floor muscs help stabilize the pelvis  
🗑
saggital plane motions of the SI joint   nutation & counternutation; axis of motion= med/lat at S2 joint (mid transverse axis)  
🗑
nutation   aka sacral flexion; relative ant & inf motion of the sacral base; coupled with lumbar extension  
🗑
counternutation   aka sacral extension; post & sup motion of sacral base; coupled with lumbar flexion  
🗑
sacral torsions   named for the direction that the ant surface of the sacrum is facing  
🗑
side of deeper sacral sulcus   opposite side of torsion direction; ant sacrum is rotated in the opposite direction  
🗑
stabilizing muscs of the SI joint   pelvic floor, abs, erector spinae, quadratus lumborum, lats, hip flexors, hip abductors, hip adductors, hip extensors, hip IR, hip ER  
🗑
hypomobile SI joint dysfxn   pain increases with strain (activities involving rotation or torque through the joint); responds well to treatment  
🗑
hypermobile SI joint dysfxn   athletes, standing & walking increases pain, any act involving torque; treat w/ rest, supports, & stability exercises for gluts, pelvic floor, & multifidi.  
🗑
testing for SI joint pathology   2/4 positive tests indicate SI joint is the source of the problem/pain; order of tests: distraction, thigh thrust, compression, & sacral thrust; Gillet's test; supine active straight leg raise  
🗑
true leg length difference   true diff in length of the femurs &/or tibia  
🗑
apparent leg length difference   pelvic rotation is contributing to the leg length diff- APT, PPT, etc...  
🗑
tests for LLD   long sit test, measure ASIS to med malleolus  
🗑
distraction test   hold for 30 secs, then quick force in direction of applied pressure; positive test= production of comparable sign  
🗑
thigh thrust test   examiner on opp to symptomatic side; positive test= reproduction of comparable sign on the thrust side  
🗑
compression test   pt in side lying & the symptomatic side uppermost;  
🗑
