IMPACT Quizzes Flashcards
(306 cards)
SI joint - Form vs Force closure
Form - passive restraints, shape, ligaments.
Force - stability provided by muscular system
articular surface of innominate and sacrum (cartilage)
sacrum - hyaline cartilage
innominate - fibrocartilage
Position: more cranial than it should be ,Kinetic Test: often all kinetic tests positive for that side ,Passive mobility: inferior “glide restricted with a jammed end feel
upslip sublux
Position: more anteriorly rotated than it should be ,Kinetic: posterior rotation and lateral rotation tests (ipsilateral step (Gillette’s), contralateral side flexion, sacral flexion) are positive ,Passive mobility: ipsilateral sacral flexion (PA on ipsilateral superior sacral corner) and/or posterior rotation and/or superoanterior glide restriction
anterior innominate sublux
Active supine and/or prone SLR difficulty with improvement when the SIJs are passively compressed assesses which type of closure
Form closure
What are primary stress tests of SI?
Anterior and posterior gapping. (gap/compress)
The following would indicate the cause of pain to be:
- No evidence of systemic disease
- Instability of the SIJ
- Loss of hip extension on that side
- Instability of the lumbosacral junction
- Long leg on that side
a. Infectious Sacroillitis
b. Reiter’s dx
c. Segmental dysfunction
d. Minor Trauma
e. Anklosing spondylitis
D - minor trauma
Stoddard test used as a secondary stress test will test for
- a. Stability of the innominate on the sacrum in a cephalad direction
b. ‘’ ‘’ sacrum in a dorsal direction
c. ‘’ ‘’ sacrum in a ventral direction
d. ‘’ ‘’ sacrum in a caudal direction
Stability of the innominate on the sacrum in a dorsal direction
Dx: Patient presents with:
- Positive Fortin’s finger test
- Positive pain provocation tests with pain in the groin or Fortin’s area
- Reduction of pain in the provocation tests with SIJ support
- Exacerbating factors more related to activity than posture
= sign of buttock?
=pain from lumbar spine?
= pain from SIJ?
