Q

what are the WB motion occurring within the pelvis at the SIJ innominates

A

2.5 degree innominate rotation and 0.5-1.6 mm translation

25
Q

t/f
motion at the SIJ occurs during movements of the trunk and extremities

A

true

26
Q

what side of the sacrum dictates the motion

A

anterior side

27
Q

t/f
movement of the SIJ does not continue throughout life

A

false
movement of the SIJ continues throughout life

28
Q

what are the 3 planes of motion of the sacrum in the SIJ

A

flexion/extension
lateral flexion
rotation

29
Q

how many degrees of rotation and translation occurs a the sacrum in the SIJ

A

1-4 degrees of rotaion
1-2 mm tralslation

30
Q

what position is closed packed position of the sacrum in the SIJ

A

nutation - standing when loaded

31
Q

what position is open packed position of the sacrum in the SIJ

A

when supine - unloaded
sacrum tents to return to counternutation or less stable

32
Q

what is the anterior/forward motion or nutation

A

flexion of the sacrum

33
Q

what is posterior/backward motion or counternutation

A

extension of the sacrum

34
Q

what does nutation mean

A

nodding

35
Q

bilateral motion of sacrum occurs with what motion of the trunk

A

forward/backward bending of the trunk

36
Q

unilateral motion of the sacrum occurs with what motion

A

flexion/extension of the lower extremities

37
Q

describe sacral nutation relative to the innominate

A

forward motion of the sacral promontory into the pelvis
coronal axis
anteriorly and inferiorly

38
Q

the sacrum glides __ does the short arm and ___ along the long arm

A

the sacrum glides inferiorly on the short arm and posteriorly along the long arm

39
Q

what resists motion of the sacrum during nutation

A

wedge shape of sacrum
ridges/depressions in point surface
interosseous and sacrotuberous ligaments

40
Q

describe sacral counternutation relative to the innominates

A

sacral base moves posteriorly and superiorly
glides anteriorly along long arm and superiorly up short arm

41
Q

t/f
coutnernutation of the sacrum is considered to be more stable than nutation

A

false
counternutation of the sacrum is considered to be less stable than mutation because sacrotuberous and interosseous ligaments are lax

42
Q

what limits motion during counternutation of the sacrum

A

long dorsal ligament

43
Q

during a forward bend, the sacrum (nutates/counternutates)

A

counternutates

44
Q

during extension, the sacrum (nutates/counternutates)

A

A

anterosuperior glide

47
Q

during walking/gait cycle motion sacral (is/is not) the same as forward/backward bending

A

is not

48
Q

what happens during unilateral motion of the sacrum

A

one side nutates with side bend
induces mutation

49
Q

what occurs during sacral torsion

Sacrum moves with left torsion on the left oblique axis
Return to neutral
Rotate right torsion n the right oblique axis
Return to neutral

56

Posterior nutation movement does not appear past neutral in the normal walking cycle

A

True

57

- sphinx sacral sulcus gets more even when in extension
- negative spring on L5

A

Physiologic

58
