Diagnosing painful sacroiliac joints: A validity study of a McKenzie evaluation and sacroiliac provocation tests.
Research suggests that clinical examination of the lumbar spine and pelvis is unable to predict the results of diagnostic injections used as reference standards. The purpose of this study was to assess the diagnostic accuracy of a clinical examination in identifying symptomatic and asymptomatic sacroiliac joints using double diagnostic injections as the reference standard. In a blinded concurre...
متن کاملDiagnosis of sacroiliac joint pain: validity of individual provocation tests and composites of tests.
Previous research indicates that physical examination cannot diagnose sacroiliac joint (SIJ) pathology. Earlier studies have not reported sensitivities and specificities of composites of provocation tests known to have acceptable inter-examiner reliability. This study examined the diagnostic power of pain provocation SIJ tests singly and in various combinations, in relation to an accepted crite...
متن کاملPain provocation tests for diagnosis of sacroiliac joint pain.
There are many tests devised to provide information about sacroiliac joint (SIJ) pain and function. Only pain provocation SIJ tests have been shown to have satisfactory inter-examiner reliability and validity with respect to a meaningful reference standard. These tests apply stress to the SIJ to determine if the usual pain is produced or aggravated and have been described in the orthopaedic med...
متن کاملValidity and Reliability of Clinical Tests for the Sacroiliac Joint
BACKGROUND The sacroiliac joint (SIJ) can be a source of low back pain. The complexity of the system involving the SIJ and the varied SIJ pain referral pattern makes it difficult to clinically assess SIJ dysfunction. Despite the emergence of detail of the SIJ complex, the basis of the clinical tests has not been thoroughly investigated. OBJECTIVE To review the literature from the last decade ...
متن کاملLoad-displacement behavior of sacroiliac joints.
We measured the load-displacement behavior of both single and paired sacroiliac (SI) joints in fresh cadaver specimens obtained from eight adults between the ages of 59 and 74 years. With both ilia fixed, static test loads were applied to the center of the sacrum along and about axes parallel and normal to the superior SI endplate. Test forces up to 294 N were applied in the superior, inferior,...
