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

[alophysio]

Thanks Neuromuscular,

Now we can move on to the next stage.

By your admission, the Stork test as described in recent literature is a LOAD TRANSFER TEST - which by definition has many causes, one of which is fixation.

The next step is that you claim you can see one result on the stork test (positive failed load transfer test) but "movement" on your APAS test.

By your own words, you have merely confirmed my position!

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???

- from post #25

In other words, if you read the research on the Stork test by Hungerford, she too observes that failed load transfer results in anterior rotation of the innominate (superior and lateral movement)...

In other words, a positive stork test is the same as your APAS test.

QED...

Dear ALophysio:

Thank you.

However, unless we are talking about two different things, the postitve from the standing SIJ test with hip flexion and/or torso flexion is that the innominate landmark of the PSIS and the sacrum move as one unit together. How can that be the same as the PSIS of the innominate bone moving away from the sacrum in the comparison test ( which is not the APAS test) where the PSIS to sacrum landmarks are observed during hip ABD? I do not follow how a joint moving together as one unit is the same as the same joint moving apart (the bones moving seperately)???

Best regards,

Neuromuscular.
