New research: No such thing as "stuck" SI joint

[neuromuscular]

Please focus on the major thrust of the discussion:

SIJ testing is misleading us from the bigger picture of the differing of pelvic angles.
There is little on how differing of pelvic angles affects therapy.

Ahh the old "super pelvic alignment wit hhip abduction" test for LBP patients rears its head in yet another discussion thread. Sorry Neuroman but from the above discussion Alophysio has the better of the argument - your statements regarding this test are extremely rigid and possibly inflammatory - but good on you for pushing our buttons. Science wouldn't be science without critical anlaysis and arguments. I look forward to reading another plethora of threads on this topic......and perhaps some quality populational correlation studies to support your extremely high incidence rates. Oh and some biomechanical/motor control/neurophysiological etc theories to support why such malignments exist in LBP (you know cause/effect/chanceetc) would also be welcomed.

Onward soldiers....

This reply is like many who do not consider a difference of view point from the "normal". It is unfortunate that some will not try a test on its own merit, but just put it down because it is different.

The reserach abstract is scheduled for year end. The research is by another person in Lincoln Nebraska USA. It has confirmed that there are numberous flaws in the present SIJ dysfunction model.

I hope that it will be considered with less disdain at that time.

To all:

A presentation of this material was made in Seattle, Washington, USA on August 29, 2009.

Many of those in attendance had Masters and Docturate degrees in physiotherapy.

The overall reaction was a very strong positive.

The presentaiton included several demonstrations on one patient and several of the therapists.

The hip ABD was a novel idea, but well received.

I hope that all will try the test.
