In this chapter, learners will recognize the more prevalent SIJ/pelvic pathologies seen in musculoskeletal practice. One of the key goals is geared toward understanding the etiology behind each of the pathologies and the prognosis of each.
2. Pain and Disability Drivers of the SIJ/Pelvis
The primary pain and disability drivers for the SIJ/pelvis include: (1) nociceptive pain elements, (2) neuropathic pain elements, (3) comorbidity pain and disability elements, (4) mood and cognitive pain and disability elements, and (5) social and environmental disability elements. Each of the domains that is specific to the SIJ/pelvis is discussed.
3. Interventions Directed at Impairments Specific to the Involved Joint
This chapter reviews the techniques used to target pain relief or strength specifically toward the targeted region that is impaired within the SIJ/pelvis. The chapter will analyze the effectiveness of each technique for treatment within the local impairment classification.
4. Regional Interventions Directed at Structures That Mediate the Impaired Level
In this chapter, learners will review the adjunctive techniques used to target the primary impairment and secondary contributors. Learners will analyze the effectiveness of each technique for treatment within the regional designation.
