To all:

There has been a name change as evidenced some time ago in another thread.
The term IBP is for the test. IBP is an acronym for innominate bone position test and better describes the reason for the test.
The term APAS is for the condition. APAS is an acronym for asymmetric pelvic angle syndrome. It describes the symptoms exhibited by most with differring innominate bone positions from left to right or those who evidence it as hip ABD progresses. There are Type 1, type 2, type 3, type 4, and type 5 APAS.

To A LO:

You first challenged the test without trying it for over two months. That is not even considering the syndrome or the test without bias. Sorry, but your bias showed from the start.

You should talk to a fellow Australian, Kit Laughlin, who did the same when I introduced it to him. He fought it without considering the the idea. I used to think of the Aussies as free thinkers and free spirits, but I have not found that to be true in discussions with them. I have found the Americans, who have looked at the research, to be far more open to newer ideas without bias or name dropping of experts.

Presently, I have been working with chiroprators on the idea and have had quite a turn around for at least one in the group. The common problem is the ingrained ideals from their discipline. This makes it difficult for them to wrap their minds around the concept, althought there is valid anatomical and physiological basis for the ideal. That is not uncommon in any discipline as I have found out.

THe research in the USA proceeds, but there is so much to deal with in the bias of the main stream, that the paper chase is greater than one would like to imagine.

AS for Diane Lee, most of her work is a rewrite of Andry Vleeming et al. Their work has not survived the various trials. The success rate is not as good as one would like to think.

As stated earlier, the IAOM of Europe does not consider the SIJ testing as relevant or consistent or accurate - regardless of type used. If others choose to use this method, so be it. I do not. The stork test is not much better for verifiable results.

Good bye.
