Q

What do the zygoapophyseal joints restrict?

A

Restricts extension & rotation at bony end range

1
Q

What shape or letter are the zygoapophyseal joints (facets)?

A

‘C’ shaped

2
Q

What do the zygoapophyseal joints allow for in the L-Spine?

A

Flexion

3
Q

How are L5 & S1 zygoapophyseal facets different?

A

S1 are larger allowing for weight bearing

The sacrum is pointed anteriorly & the spine is posterior, this blocks L5 from forward slippage

4
Q

What movements occur at the SI joint?

A

Rotation
Superior/inferior translation
Anterior/posterior translation

5
Q

Describe the shape of the SI joint
What does it resist?
What movements does it allow for?

A

Auricular
Knuckle shaped
Resists superior & inferior translation
Allows for rotation when walking

6
Q

most fibres of the interosseous ligament are __ in direction

A

horizontal

7
Q

with the forward flexion test the side that moves up is actually the __ side not the __ side. It is the __ locking onto the __ on that side.

A

tight side not the lax side. It is the innominate locking onto the sacrum on that side

8
Q

what muscle helps assist the sacrotuberous ligament from preventing the sacrum from rotating anteriorly?

A

bicep femoris

9
Q

with the sitting forward flexion test the innominate is locked in because the patient is sitting on it therefore its testing the __

A

sacrum

10
Q

how do you know whether to treat the inflare or outflare?

A

treat the side of disfunction based on the forward flexion test

11
Q

what is the fibre direction for the anterior, superior and posterior fibres of the iliolumbar ligament?

A

transverse

12
Q

what movement does the anterior, superior and posterior fibres of the iliolumbar ligament prevent?

A

side bending

13
Q

how do you test the anterior, posterior and superior fibres of the iliolumbar ligament?

A

patients lies on side, therapist landmarks L5, slide in to the base of the SP and push vertebrae down toward table while stabilizing the innominate with the free hand

14
Q

why is the vertebral body concave?

A

weight bearing

15
Q

the __ forms the superior and inferior portion of the vertebral foramen

A

pedicle

16
Q

the ___ + ___ form the neural arch

A

pedicle + lamina

17
Q

___ combine to form the SP

A

lamina

18
Q

the ___ of the facets will dictate what movement they are guiding

A

orientation

19
Q

Pars interarticular fracture occurs obliquely between ___ and __

A

superior and inferior articular facets

21
Q

** Why is the articular facets of L1 different then L5-S1?

A

To prevent anterior translation of L5

22
Q

Why is a diagonal/oblique chain so important to everyday life?

A

chain will assist in rotation at the hips which allows for proper gait mechanics

23
Q

what impact would jumping have on the symphysis pubis, if you landed on one foot?

A

landing forces can be detrimental because of superior translation

24
Q

What forces can the symphysis pubis joint resist, which does it allow for?

A

resists - shearing (superior & inferior)

allows - rotation & compression

25
Q

What movement would stress the anterior SI ligament?

A
  • hip extension

- distraction

26
Q

What happens to the SIJ if hamstrings are more active than the glutes?

A

hamstrings will create a shearing force on the SIJ.

Glutes need to fire before hamstrings to reinforce the joint

27
Q

Why is the dorsal SI ligament important for stability & mobility of the SIJ?

A

stability: holds the ilium to the sacrum (reinforcing the auricular surfaces)
mobility: limited but definite rotation

28
Q

what is the role of the iliolumbar ligament?

A
  • connect L4/L5 vertebrae to the ilium
  • strengthen lumbrosacral jt.
  • prevents anterior translation of L4/L5
  • resists side bending
29
Q

What muscle is associated with the iliolumbar ligament?

A

Quadratus Lumborum

30
Q

if the ilium is restricted what impact would it have on the iliolumbar ligament?

A

iliolumbar ligament will also be restricted, which will attribute to stiffness/restriction of the QL

31
Q

The Sacrotuberous ligament maintains stability of the SIJ & pelvis during what movement?

What is it’s main role?

A

Helps keep the pelvic girdle intact while resisting rotation with hip flexion

Force attenuation
