Cluster of Laslett for SIJ Dysfunction ✅

1. Distraction Test
2. P4 Test (Posterior Pelvic Pain Provocation)
3. Compression Test
4. Sacral Thrust Test

Best used to rule out SIJ as the pain source
• >2/4 positive tests = SIJ Dysfunction
•< 2/4 positive test= rule out SIJ

Clinical Application
• if pain centralizes with extension, SIJ as the pain generator is usually unlikely
• another complimentary finding is when the patient points their finger within 1cm inferomedial to the PSIS as their pain source
• Gaenslen is a 5th test that can be used in the cluster

DM us questions ! ☺️

True story: one time I taught a patient how to do a dance and she told her husband I taught her how to cr*p walk 😭😭😭 next session he came in asking if I can teach him 🫩

To clarify, I did not teach her that 🫪

Save this to target the pelvic girdle stabilizing muscles✅

1. Bridge with adductor squeeze: activates the glute max and posterior chain which help in force closure of SI joint. ➡️ the adductor derive co contacts the adductors and pelvic floor to engage the anterior oblique sling

2. Side plank clamshell: isolated glute med and hip external rotators (commonly weak in people with SI joint dysfunction)

3. Lateral side glide: movement correction to restore symmetric pelvic positioning; typically a mulligan technique
➡️reinforces frontal plane control and corrects lateral pelvic shift

Crossed straight leg raise test (wells test)

Test for lumbosacral radicular pain

NOTE: as the therapist you would passively flex the leg, i just didn’t have a model to do this one on 🙂‍↕️

Shoutout @physiotutors for being my go to tool to touch up on my special tests !!

Try these three exercises for patients with knee pain to build a posterior chain and hip stability program ✅

1. Banded lateral walk: hip abductors and external rotators
• fun fact: placing the band at the feet preferentially recruits the glute max and med while minimizing TFL engagement

2. RDL: load hamstrings and posterior chain
•if done single leg -> a best bang for your buck exercise to target all 3 components of the glutes

3. Foot elevated SL bridges: emphasize glute max and pelvic stabilizing core with a unilateral load
• >50% MVC for glute med activation

Save these for your future patients !

3 simple movements you can do anywhere that might help relieve some of your low back pain !

1. Bird dog: focus on anti rotation and core stability

2.Bridge with Adductor squeeze: EMG recording have demonstrated co-contraction of pelvic floor, glute max activation to help with hip extension, and rectus abdominals + oblique activation

3. Supine twist: gentle mobilize and move your back

Sometimes rest isn’t the answer, but gentle movements can go a long way!

Share with a family or friend who could use this ! 🫶🏽🫱🏽‍🫲🏾
