Q

What are the four rules of the interaction between L5 and the sacrum?

A
  1. Clinically significant interactions between L5 and the sacrum only occur during sacral torsions (not shears).
  2. L5 will always be sideband to the same side as the axis of the torsion
  3. Seated flexion test is positive on the OPPOSITE side as the axis of the torsion
  4. L5 will always be rotated to the opposite of the direction of the sacral torsion
