282Purpose: Tests lateralization of somatic dysfunction
Patient: Supine
DOc: side of table, Dominant Eye closet to table
Contact both ASIS and apply a posterior compression on one side,
(approximately 45d toward the SI Joint) while stabilizing the other
ASIS/pelvis. Then repeat process on opposite side.
Compare sides. There should be a sense of movement on the normal side
and a sense of resistance if dysfunction. Somatic dysfunction of the SI joint
produces resistance to the test or lack of spring.
Most resistance = positive side.
Indicates laterality only – not if iliosacral or sacroiliac

ASIS compression test
283what is the puroose if an ASIS copression test

test lateraization of somatic dysfunction

284what does the sprinbg test evaluate
Testing Passive ROM
It’s purpose: Assess if sacral base has moved posterior. An
example would be a backward sacral torsion:

2851. Patient – Prone
2. DOc – Side of table
3. Find sacral base
4. Place heel of hand over Lumbosacral junction
5. Spring in an Anterior motion
6. Results:
a. Positive = If there is NO springing allowed = Non-neutral condition
(AKA Backward torsion)
b. Negative = If there is springing allowed = Neutral condition

spring test
286what is a negative spring test

If there is springing allowed = Neutral condition
287where is heel of hand placed in spring test

lumbosacral junction
288what is a positive spring test

If there is NO springing allowed = Non-neutral condition
(AKA Backward torsion)
289what does the sphynx test evaluate

Testing Active ROM
It will help to point out any asymmetric motion of the sacrum
It will help to identify loss of motion
290 Patient: Prone
DOc: Dominant eye closest to side of table
Places thumbs in sacral sulci/sacral base
Asks patient to prop up on elbows, inducing lumbar extension
which in turn should cause the sacral base to move anterior

sphinx test
291positive sphinx test

If one side of the sacral base is stuck posterior, it will resist moving
anterior with lumbar extension and thumbs will appear more
asymmetric. (Secondly, the bases could move posteriorly, instead of
normal – moves anteriorly.)
292negative sphinx test

f part of the sacral base is stuck anterior, when the patient extends
the lumbar region, the NON-dysfunctional side will move anteriorly
to “catch-up” with the dysfunctional side giving a more symmetrical
appearance.
