    Reliability of SIJ testing and examination



    Motion of the SU is limited to minute amounts of rotation and of translation

    Rotation:

    -1.1 to 2.2 degrees along the X-axis

    -0.8 to 4.0 degrees along the Y-axis

    -0.5 to 8.0 degrees along the Z-axis.

    Translation:

    -0.3 to 8.0 (mm) along the X-axis

    -0.2 to 7.0 mm along the Y-axis

    -0.3 to 6.0 mm along the Z-axis

    • The use of a cluster of motion palpation or provocation tests is a more acceptable/reliable method than single test to assess SIJ or the clinical methods utilizing palpation for diagnosing SU pathology.
