Purpose
[edit | edit source]

To test for pain of sacroiliac origin

Technique
[edit | edit source]

The patient is supine close to the edge of the examination table.  The examiner stands facing the patient at the side of the table.  The examiner places their hands on the anterior superior iliac spines in a cross arm fashion.  The examiner then places pressure through the ASIS in a lateral direction.  This pressure is thought to place a stretch to the anterior sacroiliac ligaments.


Positive Test:  Reproduction of the patients buttock pain


Negative Test:  No pain or pain other than patient's pain reproduction[1]
