sacral dx quick study sheet
DESCRIPTION
OMM sacral diagnosis chartTRANSCRIPT
PUT IT ALL TOGETHER! (THIS IS FOR YOUR REFERENCE WHEN STUDYING IF YOU DEEM IT HELPFUL)
Standing Flexion Test(tells side of dysfunction)
Seated Flexion Test (Sacroilial, Iliosacral)
Spring Test/Sphinx test(flexed or extended sacrum)
DONE!
Assess ASIS, PSIS, Ischial Tuberosity(all in reference to SIDE of DYSFUNCTION)
Diagnose!
Deep Sulcus
Posterior ILA (inferolateral angle)
Diagnose!
Diagnosing Notes:1) Positive Spring test = extension (L on R, R on L, bilateral extension) and are RARE especially in your classmates!2) Posterior ILA corresponds with your first letter of diagnosis(i.e. posterior left ILA = L on L, L on R, L unilateral flexed)3) Left on Right means the sacrum is rotating left on the right axis.4) Flexed sacral dx (L on L) will have a + standing flexion test on the opposite side of rotation (Right) whereas an extended sacral dx (L on R) will have a + standing flexion test on the same side of the rotation (Left)
