Study Notes
Anterior Pelvic Landmarks for Diagnosis
- Iliac Crest: Prominent ridge of the pelvis used as a reference point during assessments.
- ASIS (Anterior Superior Iliac Spine): Key landmark; tips of fingers placed here to check for lateralization.
- Pubic Symphysis: Joint where the left and right pubic bones meet; evaluated for level differences.
- Pubic Ramus: The horizontal part of the pubic bone; check for symmetry and positional discrepancies.
Diagnostic Techniques
- Pubic Ramus Level Check: Tips of second fingers placed on pubic ramus; assess for leveling and lateralization.
- ASIS Leveling Check: Thumbs placed under ASIS; check for symmetry and note which side is superior or inferior.
- Sacral Sulcus and PSIS Leveling Check: Thumbs placed under PSIS to assess for level and lateralization discrepancy.
Transverse Axis Assessment
- Reference point between ASIS; triangulate to umbilicus to compare distances.
- Determine if lateralized side is farther (outflare) or closer (inflare) than the umbilicus.
Motion Testing
- Conduct lateral force tests on ASIS while observing motion of innominates (hip bones).
- Right to left checks for right inflare and left outflare; left to right for left inflare and right outflare.
Muscle Energy Techniques (MET) for Pubic Dysfunction
- Focus on correcting superior shear, inferior shear, gapped, or compressed pubic dysfunction.
- Abduct/Adduction Technique: Patient resists adduction while therapist provides counterforce.
- Steps repeated with varying fist sizes (one or two) placed between knees to enhance the contraction.
Causes of Innominate Rotation
- Tight hip flexors (e.g., quadriceps) cause anterior rotation.
- Tight extensors (e.g., hamstrings) result in posterior rotation.
Treatment Principles for Innominate Rotation
- Anteriorly Rotated Innominate: Flex hip to rotate the innominate posteriorly; hip extensors activate.
- Posteriorly Rotated Innominate: Extend thigh to rotate it anteriorly; hip flexors provide the activating force.
Muscle Energy Technique for Anteriorly Rotated Innominate
- Objective: Patient supine with heel on shoulder; hip flexion testing barrier.
Muscle Energy Technique for Innominate Outflare
- Procedure: Patient flexes hip/knee; physician applies counterforce while patient attempts to abduct.
- Repeat to enhance the effect multiple times.
Muscle Energy Technique for Innominate Inflare
- Procedure: Patient flexes knee; physician applies counterforce as patient pushes against the external rotation.
- Multiple repetitions for effectiveness and assessment post-procedure.
Reassessment
- Continuous reassessment of landmarks post-treatment is vital for tracking progress and effectiveness of techniques.
