There are lots of tests out there for SIJ, which ones are the most accurate?

Thank you

If you have a positive for the "supposed stuck Wikipedia reference-linkSIJ" . Try this

Landmark PSIS to sacrum. Have the patient do hip abduction directly lateral in the coronal plane. For every positive "fixation" of the SIJ, this test will show a superior and lateral movement of the PSIS to the sacrum with little variance.

My reseach was published as an article in a Canadian journal and is being pursued in the USA by a Lincoln Nebraska Clinic. The paper should be published in 2008 or early 2009.

APAS, asymmetric pelvic angle syndrome is the true cause of most of the supposed SIJ problems - form closure, force closure et al included.

Hope you find this helpful.
