30 Questions
Which motion of the sacrum occurs in response to lumbar extension?
Sacral flexion around the MTA
What does a negative Sulci depth test indicate?
Flexed dysfunction
Which test helps determine if the sacrum lives in flexion or extension?
Lumbar Spring test
What is the main function of the BBT (sphinx) test?
Testing sacrum's ability to flex
In which condition does the sacrum move around the STA in response to inhalation?
Sacral extension
What happens to the sacral base during sacral extension?
It moves posteriorly
In a left on left sacral rotation, how is L5 typically rotated?
To the right
What does a 'compensated' L5 mean in terms of its rotation?
Rotated opposite to the sacrum
What type of mechanics does a compensated L5 follow in forward torsions?
Type 1 mechanics
Why is it important to correct a non-compensated L5 before addressing the sacrum?
To allow full correction of the sacrum
What indicates that L5 has rotated in the same direction as the sacrum?
Non-Compensated L5
How do you differentiate between a 'compensated' and 'non-compensated' L5?
'Compensated' rotates opposite to sacrum; 'non-compensated' rotates with sacrum
What is the main movement described in the text for addressing anterior pelvic rotation?
Flexing the hip and knee to the first restrictive barrier
Which action is advised against when addressing an inferior shear of the pelvis?
Whipping (hyperextending) the knee
During the pelvis treatment ilial outflare, what action should be taken when you hit the first barrier?
Ask the patient to push their knee laterally
What should be done to address posterior pelvic rotation according to the text?
Stabilize sacral base with fingertips and ask patient to extend their hip by pushing with the knee
What is the key instruction given for treating superior shear of the pelvis?
Standing on the dysfunctional leg and jumping up and down
What is the next step after performing muscle energy 3-5 times during the pelvis treatment ilial inflare?
Reset the pelvis and recheck findings
Which technique involves asking the patient to lie supine and gently drop the ischial tuberosity on the dysfunctional side down?
Standing on the dysfunctional leg and jumping up and down
In the pelvis treatment superior pubic shear, what is used to stabilize the opposite ilium?
Opposite hip
What position should the patient be in for pelvis treatment superior pubic shear?
Supine near the edge of the table on their affected side
What action should be avoided when resetting the pelvis according to the text?
Whipping (hyperextending) the knee
What is the purpose of asking the patient to flex their hip by pushing their knee towards the ceiling during a pelvis treatment?
To create an isometric contraction
In which position can you also treat during pelvis treatment according to the provided text?
Lateral recumbent position
What is the most appropriate next step after creating an isometric contraction by asking the patient to flex and adduct their hip?
Pause for 1-2 seconds and extend the hip further to the next restrictive barrier
What action should be taken after stabilizing the ipsilateral ischial tuberosity during the muscle energy technique?
Ask the patient to try to extend their hip by pushing with the knee for 3-5 seconds
What would be a likely finding on osteopathic exam for a patient presenting with sacroiliac pain after a right knee replacement?
Positive seated flexion test on the right
Which somatic dysfunction would be consistent with findings of a deep sacral sulcus on the right and a backwards bend test being negative?
Right ILA anterior and superior
During muscle energy technique, if you find the left sulcus anterior and left ILA posterior and caudad, what somatic dysfunction could be diagnosed?
Left pubic shear
When would it be appropriate to add an anterior and superior force between isometric contractions during muscle energy technique?
When trying to correct an anterior inferior iliac torsion
