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

[neuromuscular]

Dear Alophysio:

Thank you for your reply.

Well said.

However, I cannot get over how few are willing to try the test BEFORE jumping in with contradictions. This is NOT good science, which we are all supposed to "believe" is the best approach. However, it does suggest a closed to other possibilities approach. I have done the Stork test or standing SIJ test with hip flexion or torso flexion, but others do not even try the hip innominate bone position test or APAS test and discredit it without knowing what would be shown by it.

I do not believe that the SIJ is the big first "cause" in most cases. It's movement is affected by outside forces other than the joint. In mapping the innominate bone position, a new set of parameters are given that are often at odds with the old train of thought.

I would love feedback from those who HAVE TRIED the innominate bone position test or APAS test to see if it does affect their viewpoint on what is needed to be done for the patient.

I find that the standing SIJ test or STORK test gives results that differ from the same landmarks with hip ABD. (This is not the APAS test or innominate bone position test, but just a comparison of the standing SIJ test to the same test with hip ABD instead of flexion to compare how the joint moves or does not move.). So if one does the standing SIJ test with hip flexion or torso flexion and does a comparison to the same landmarks of the PSIS to sacrum with hip ABD, the PSIS moves superior and lateral in the vast majority of people examined. What does this indicate? A false positive in the standing SIJ test with hip flexion or torso flexion vs the same test with hip ABD???? If it is a false positve, should we not be concerned???

I would love for as many as wish to try the two tests back to back and give me their results. We do not have to fear the unknown, just known the unknown and what we are seeing.

My best to you Alophysio,
