27
4 ways to evaluate innominate bone mobility
1. PSIS test 2. Standing hip flexion test (observation only) 3. Gillet's test (standing hip flexion test with palpation of S2 and PSIS) 4. Standing hip flexion test with palpation of lower sacrum and ischial tuberosity
28
How to evaluate movement of the sacrum
Sacral sulcus test
29
PSIS test (patient position, examiner action, normal response, positive response, indicates)
Position: standing Examiner: Find PSIS by finding dimples, dropping down 2-3 inches pushing in and then up to hook under them. Move thumbs laterally until they are 8-10 inches apart. Ask patient to flex. Normal response: No movement initially, the both PSIS elevate at the same time Positive response: If one elevates immediately or one doesn't elevate as much as the other after the initial lag Indicates: hypomobility of the innominate bone on that side
30
Standing hip flexion test observation only (patient position, examiner action, normal response, positive response, indicates)
Patient: standing Examiner: Ask patient to alternately bring hips to 90* and observe buttock Normal response: Buttock should be round on side of being lifted Positive response: Patient's hip hikes up Indicates: hypomobility of the innominate bone on that side
31
Gillet's test (patient position, examiner action, normal response, positive response, indicates)
Patient: standing Examiner: Palpate S2 and PSIS, ask patient to bring hip on test side to 90* Normal response: PSIS drops in relation to S2 Positive response: PSIS goes up in relation to S2 Indicates: hypomobility of the innominate bone on that side
32
Standing hip flexion test with palpation of bottom of sacrum and ischial tuberosity (patient position, examiner action, normal response, positive response, indicates)
Patient: standing Examiner: Palpate lower sacrum and ischial tuberosity, ask patient to bring hip on test side to 90* Normal response: ischial tuberosity moves lateral on test side Positive response: ischial tuberosity goes up Indicates: hypomobility of the innominate bone on that side
33
Sacral sulcus test (patient position, examiner action, normal response, positive response, indicates)
Position: standing Examiner: Find iliac crests and most posteriorly until thumbs are 6 inches apart. Ask patient to extend then flex Normal response: On extension both thumbs deepen equally. On flexion both thumbs move posteriorly equally Positive response: The side that does not deepen or move posteriorly as much is the affected side Indicates: hypomobility of the sacrum on that side
34
4 passive movement tests (pelvis)
1. Gapping test 2. Squish test 3. Sacroiliac rocking ligament test 4. Superoinferior symphysis pubic stress test
35
Gapping test (patient position, examiner action, positive response, indicates)
Patient: supine Examiner: Applies outward pressure to ASIS with crossed arms PR: Reproduces unilateral gluteal or posterior leg pain Indicates: Sprain of anterior sacroiliac ligament
36
Squish test (patient position, examiner action, positive response, indicates)
Patient: supine Examiner: Place both hands on patient's ASIS and iliac crests, then push down and in at 45 degree angle PR: reproduces pain (often lateral, posteriorlateral or posteriormedial thigh pain) Indicates: Sprain of posterior sacroiliac ligament
37
Sacroiliac rocking ligament test (patient position, examiner action, positive response, indicates)
Patient: supine Examiner: Passively flexes patient's hip to same shoulder, opposite shoulder, then opposite elbow PR: Reproduces pain Indicates: Sprain of vertical, oblique or horizontal fibres of the SI ligaments (depending on direction) and/or sprain of sacrotuberous ligament
38
Superoinferor symphysis pubic stress test (patient position, examiner action, positive response, indicates)
Patient: supine Examiner: Stands at patient's side and places heel of one hand over superior pubic ramus on one side and the heel of the other hand under the inferior pubic ramus on other side. Squeeze hands together. PR: reproduces pain in symphysis pubis Indicates: sprain of pubic symphysis
39
Resisted movements for pelvis (Isometrics)
Hip flexion/extension Hip adduction/abduction Trunk flexion
40
How long do you hold pelvic isometrics?
Only long enough to determine if pain is reproduced
41
Pelvis special tests
Gaenslen's test Flamingo test Baer's point
42
Gaenslen's test (patient position, examiner action, positive response, indicates)
Patient: side lying with lower leg to chest (holding posterior thigh) Examiner: Stabilize the pelvis while extending the hip. Patient hugs bottom leg PR: Pain in SI joint, hip joint or along the L4 nerve root distribustion (lateral thigh, anterior and posteriomedial lower shin, medial malleolus to anterior big toes) Indicates: Ipsilateral sacroiliac joint lesion, hip pathology or L4 nerve root lesion
43
L4 nerve root distribustion
Lateral thigh, anterior and posteriomedial lower shin, medial malleolus to anterior big toes
44
Flamingo test (patient position, examiner action, positive response, indicates)
Patient: standing Examiner: Ask patient to stand on one leg. May ask patient to hop on test side. PR: pain in symphysis pubis or sacroiliac joint Indicates: Lesion in symphysis pubis or sacroiliac joint
45
Baer's point (patient position, examiner action, positive response, indicates)
Patient: supine Examiner: Ask patient to take a deep breath, the exhale. On exhalation press in the iliac fossa, anterior to SI joint PR: tenderness Indicates: spasm of the iliacus muscle (due to SI joint infection or sprain of the anterior sacroiliac ligament)
46
Causes of Iliacus muscle spasm
SI joint infection or sprain of the anterior sacroiliac ligament
47
Piriformis strain/syndrome signs/symptoms
-Localized tenderness -Low back and hip pain -Pain on resisted hip extension, lateral rotation and abduction -If spasm, will have deep sulcus on affected side -Positive piriformis test -May have lateral rotation of hip in standing/gait
48
Piriformis syndrome additional signs/symptoms
-Radiation down post. thigh to popliteal space when sciatic nerve compressed -May have poorly defined tingling or numbness in buttock and/or posterior thigh -If active TrP, may have pain in mid-calf and/or bottom of foot
49
Osteitis pubis signs/symptoms
-Local tenderness -Local swelling -Pain on resisted hip adduction and trunk flexion -Aggravated by coughing/sneezing -Positive flamingo test -Positive superoinferior symphysis pubis stress test
50
Posterior SI ligament sprain signs/symptoms
-Local tenderness -Positive squish test -Positive sacroiliac rocking ligament test for affected fibres -Pain referred to lateral/posteriorlateral/posteriomedial thigh -Aggravated by side lying with top leg dropped in front of bottom leg
51
Anterior SI ligament sprain signs/symptoms
-Positive gapping test -Positive transverse anterior shear test -Positive sacroiliac rocking ligament test for affected fibres -Positive Baer's point if anterior SI ligament causes iliacus spasm -Referral into buttock/posterior thigh
52
Ankylosing spondylitis signs/symptoms
-Initially has vague discomfort and stiffness in lower back, worse on awakening, eased by exercise -Breathing becomes restricted -Marked thoraco-cervical kyphosis and flattening of lumbar lordosis
