Three parts of the pelvis and what do they consist of
Bowl: hip bones + sacrum
Joints: sacroilic and symphysis
Girdle: hip bones + some sacrum
What are three functions of the pelvis
Support and protect viscera, provide muscle attatchment site, supports weight of upper body
What are the two parts of the basin
Pelvic inlet and outlet
What is superior to pelvic inlet
False or greater pelvis (IGF)
What is inferior to pelvic inlet
True or lesser pelvis
What makes up the pelvic inlet
Pubic crest, sacral promontory, pectineal line, arcuate line
What makes up the pelvic outlet
Apex of coccyx, ischial tuberosities, pubic symphysis
Classify pubic symphysis and sacroiliac joint
1) symphysis: fibrocartilage 2) sacroiliac: ant (synovial) and post (fibrous)
Name the posterior pelvic ligaments
1) sacrotuberous 2) posterior sacroiliac ligament 3) sacrospinous
Name the anterior pelvic ligaments
1) interosseous sacroiliac 2) anterior sacroiliac ligament 3) illiolumbar
Weight transfer through pelvis four steps
Weight pushes sacrum inferiorly
Sacrum becomes ‘wedged’ in
Irregular joint surfaces interlock
Ligaments come under tension
What causes the sacroiliac joint to move
External forces
Overall movement of the sacroiliac
Slight gliding and rotation
Define nutation
Anterior rotation of superior sacrum
Define counter nutation
Anterior rotation of inferior sacrum
Nutation is resisted by which ligaments
Sacrotuberous and sacrospinous
Define form closure
How passive structures contribute to the stability of joints
Define force closure
How active structures contribute to the stability of joints
What structures does form closure consist of
Ligaments, gravity, rigid structures
What structures does force closure consist of
Muscles and fascia
Purpose of form closure
Create rigid interlocking surfaces
Purpose of force closure
Enhances compression of joints
What muscles produce pelvic drop around AP axis
Ipsilateral gluteus maximus, contralateral EO and IO, contralateral hip adductors
What muscles produce anterior pelvic tilt around AP axis
Erector spinae, hip flexors
