SI Mobilization To Correct Posteriorly Rotated Innominate
Posted on 06. Jun, 2010 by in Sacroiliac Mobilizations
Loading ...Purpose
A mobilization technique used to correct a posteriorly rotated ilium or said another way it is a mobilization technique used to restore anterior rotation to the innominate. This technique is helpful if the patient is unable to tolerate the prone position and the Clinician is unable to perform the Ilium ventral mobilization.
Technique
Patient positioned sidelying on the unaffected side.
Clinician maximally flexes the hip and knee of the unaffected side(the bottom leg).
Clinician slightly flexes the affected leg(the top leg).
Clinician bends his knees to get down level with the patient.
Clinician places the ulnar side of his cranial hand on iliac crest and his caudal hand on the ischial tuberosity.
Clinician then takes up the slack and performs a ventral rotation of the ilium.

It appears that the video is the incorrect one…showing an anterior moblization…yet the description and heading are for a MET to posteriorly rotate the inominate.

Jon you are absolutely right! The video demonstrates a mobilization technique to correct a posteriorly rotated innominate while the description is for a muscle energy technique to correct an anteriorly rotated innominate! I’m not exactly sure what happened but somewhere in the editing process we mixed the two up. I corrected the title and removed the description. I’ll work on a correct description for this video and on locating the muscle energy video that went with the description. Thanks for letting us know something was up!

Update: The description listed now is the right one and we are still looking for the muscle energy video!
