Purpose
[edit | edit source]
The Posterior Shear Test (POSH Test) is a provication test used to determine if a patient's pain is coming from the sacral iliac joint.
Technique
[edit | edit source]
With the patient supine, flex the patient's hip to 90 degrees. Then the examiner applies an axial force posteriorly through the femur at varying angles of hip abduction and adduction. The test is considered positive if it reproduces the patients buttock pain.
Evidence[edit | edit source]
Laslet, et al, report the specificity as high as 100% ([2],[3]) and Broadhurst, et al, report the sensitivity as high as 80% ([4]), demonstrating good positive and negative predictive values. The POSH test was only on of a few sacral-iliac joint tests that had both positive and negative predictive capabilities ([5]).
