Biomechanics:

  • Movement of the SIJ is involuntary, usually from muscle imbalances

  • Can occur at multiple levels: LE, hip, LS spine

  • Motion is complex and not single-axis based

    • estimated that up to 4 degrees of rotation can occur and up to 1.6 mm of translation (Sturesson, et al Conference on LBP San Diego: 1992)
