A new patient, Mr. Jones, presents with bilateral LBP from L3-L5 and tenderness over the
SI joints bilaterally. Upon examination/palpation of the sacrum, you detect a RRLOA. How
might you have detected this motion restriction?
While palpating P-A on the right sacral base
Mrs. Smith arrives at your office with an exacerbation of right sacro-iliac pain. During motion
palpation you detect a hard end feel when palpating P-A on the right PSIS as compared to
the left. Which of the following is the correct motion restriction listing?
AGR R-Ilium
Forceful manipulation is contraindicated in patients with ______.
Osteoporosis
Clotting disorders
__________movement pattern exhibits the normal pattern of coupling in which _________is
associated with__________ to the__________ side.
Type 1/lateral flexion/axial rotation/opposite
A posterior apex misalignment would probably have which of the following palpable
restrictions?
Counternutation restriction
A patient presents to your office complaining of "right hip pain" that has been constant
for the past few days. When asked to point to the pain, she places her hand over her right
sacroiliac joint. Upon visual inspection/static palpation, you notice that the left leg is long
compared to the right leg and the right PSIS is tender and more prominent than the left.
Motion palpation reveals a right sacroiliac extension restriction with a hard end-feel when
motioning the right ilium P-A. Which of the following is the most likely listing for these
findings?
AGR R-Ilium
Since there are no movable joints within a normal adult sacrum, a posterior apex should
also palpate as a base anterior sacrum.
true
Which part of the sacrum articulates with the ilium?
Auricular surface
, Mrs. Smith arrives at your office with an exacerbation of right sacro-iliac pain. During motion
palpation you detect a hard end-feel when palpating P-A on the right PSIS as compared to the
left. Which of the following is the correct motion restriction listing? Choose the best answer.
AGR R-Ilium
How should the right sacral base move during right sacroiliac flexion?
anterior- inferior
During lumbosacral extension, the sacral base should glide _________.
anterior-inferior
Which of the following is consistent with a sacroiliac extension restriction?
CRRLOA or CRRROA
A new patient, Mr. Jones, presents with bilateral LBP from L3-L5 and tenderness over the

While palpating P-A on the right sacral base
Which of the following is consistent with a sacroiliac flexion restriction?
RRROA or RRLOA
Right Sacroiliac flexion occurs about the __________ axis.
Left oblique axis
How should the left ilium move during left sacroiliac extension?
anterior-superior
How should the right sacral base move during right sacroiliac extension?
posterior-superior
Nutation/Counternutation occurs around the _____ axis?
Transverse
Patient history and examination reveal pain in the lower half of the SI joint, a right short leg
and more prominent PSIS on the right. Although motion palpation is always necessary,
your initial clinical impression based on your knowledge of lumbopelvic kinematics is that
this patient may have a(n) _________.
R-PI Ilium or a L-AS Ilium
