CHANGES IN PELVIC TILT DURING THREE DIFFERENT RECIPROCAL STANCE POSITIONS IN PATIENTS WITH SACROILIAC JOINT REGIONAL PAIN.

Purpose Essential to the successful management of patients with sacroiliac joint pain (SIJP) is understanding how these joints move. The innominates tilt together in the same direction with symmetrical activities (i.e. forward-bending) but move opposite of one another when performing asymmetrical activities (i.e. walking). How they move in patients with SIJP is unknown. The purpose of this study was to examine inter-innominate movement (tilt) when assuming three different stance positions to describe how the innominate bones move in those with and without SIJP.
