Description[edit | edit source]
The pelvis consists of the sacrum, the coccyx,the ischium, the ilium, and the pubis. [1][2] The structure of the pelvis supports the contents of the abdomen while also helping to transfer the weight from the spine to the lower limbs.[3] During gait, the joints within the pelvis work together to decrease the amount of force transferred from the ground and lower extremities to the spine and upper extremities.[3]
Anatomy[edit | edit source]
Osteology[edit | edit source]
- sacrum
- coccyx
- two innominate bones, which consist of the:
- ischium
- ilium
- pubis[1]
Joint Articulations[edit | edit source]
There are three articulations within the pelvis:
- inferiorly between the sacrum and the coccyx
- posteriorly between the sacrum and each ilium (sacroiliac (SI) joint)
- anteriorly between the pubic bodies (pubic symphysis).[2]
Other articulations:
- the pelvis and femur articulate via the acetabulum[1]
Ligaments[edit | edit source]
Ligaments of the Pelvis[edit | edit source]
- Iliolumbar ligament
- Lateral lumbosacral ligament
- Sacrotuberous ligament
- Sacrospinous ligament
Sacroiliac Ligaments[edit | edit source]
- Ventral/Anterior sacroiliac ligament
- Dorsal/Posterior sacroiliac ligament
- Interosseous sacroiliac ligament
Sacrococcygeal Ligaments[edit | edit source]
- Ventral/Anterio sacrococcygeal ligament
- Dorsal sacrococcygeal ligament
- Lateral sacrococcygeal ligament
Pubic Symphysis Ligaments[edit | edit source]
- Superior pubic ligament
- Inferior pubic ligament
- Anterior pubic ligament
- Posterior pubic ligament
Muscles[edit | edit source]
There are 35 muscles that attach to the sacrum or innominates. The purpose of these muscles is primarily to provide stability to the joint not to produce movement.[4]
Muscles that attach to the sacrum or innominates are:
| Adductor brevis | Adductor longus | Adductor magnus | Biceps femoris - long head | Coccygeus |
| Erector spinae | External oblique | Gluteus maxiumus | Gluteus medius | Gluteus minimus |
| Gracilis | Iliacus | Inferior gemellus | Internal oblique | Latissimus dorsi |
| Levator ani | Multifidus | Obturator internus | Obturator externus | Pectineus |
| Levator ani | Piriformis | Psoas minor | Pyramidalis | Quadratus femoris |
| Quadratus lumborum | Rectus abdominis | Rectus femoris | Sartorius | Semimembranosus |
| Semitendonosus | Sphincter urethrae | Superficial transverse perineal ischiocavernous | Superior gemellus | Tensor fascia lata |
| Transversus abdominus |
Sex-specific differences[edit | edit source]
Clinical Examination[edit | edit source]
Assessment[edit | edit source]
- Prior to the assessment of the sacroiliac joint both the lumbar spine and hip should be assessed and any underlying pathologist should be ruled out.
Special Tests[edit | edit source]
SI Joint Stress tests[edit | edit source]
- Anterior Gapping test
- Sacroiliac Distraction test
- Pubic Stress test
- Sacrotuberous Ligament Stress test
- Sacral Compression test
- Rotational Stress test
Leg Length tests[edit | edit source]
- Prone test
- Standing leg length test
- Functional leg length test
Other Special Tests[edit | edit source]
- Seated Flexion test (Piedallu's Sign)
- Long Sit test
- Sign of the Buttock
- Posterior Pelvic Pain Provocation test
- Gaenslen's test
- Yeoman's test
- FABER (Figure-Four) test
- Fortin Finger Test
- Straight Leg Raise - 70-90deg
- Gillet's test (Ipsilateral posterior rotation test)
Outcome Measures[edit | edit source]
Pathology/Injury[edit | edit source]
- Pubic Symphysis Dysfunction
- Spondyloarthropathies
- Pregnancy Related Pelvic Pain
- Pelvic Fractures
- Sacroiliitis
