Inter-examiner and intra-examiner agreement for assessing sacroiliac anatomical landmarks using palpation and observation: pilot study

Proposed Algorithm for the Management of Athletes With Athletic Pubalgia (Sports Hernia): A Case Series

“…Palpation of pelvic alignment was also performed with boney landmark symmetry noted for the anterior superior iliac spines (ASIS), posterior superior iliac spines (PSIS), and iliac crests ( Utilizing palpation of these boney landmarks to assess static pelvic position has been found to have poor interrater and intrarater reliability. 65,69 Special Tests/Muscle Length Applicable special tests of the SIJ, pelvis, hips, and lumbar region were performed, 54 with any test provoking the athlete's symptoms noted as being positive ( ). Muscle length testing was also conducted, 54 with any lack in flexibility noted.…”

Isolated Knee Pain: A Case Report Highlighting Regional Interdependence

“…15,26,27,35,48 However, if the patient's atypical knee pain presentation was related to the sacroiliac joint, it would be unique in the literature for this age group. The theoretical constructs of regional interdependence do not say that pain is actually referred or radiating from a proximal source, only that it is somehow related to the remotely located dysfunction or impairment.…”

“…15,26 The interrater reliability of these findings has been shown on several occasions to be poor at best. 35,48 Consequently, the results of several tests were combined to establish a working diagnosis. The sacroiliac joint mobility tests, as well as the boney landmark positional findings described above, combined with the limited number of local findings at the patient's painful knee, led the examiner to a working diagnosis of sacroiliac joint dysfunction.…”

3D surface-imaging for volumetric measurement in people with obesity

“…It reduces inaccuracies [3][4] inherent with current techniques, such as skin depression and soft tissue artefact [5] which is further exaggerated in people with obesity. 3D surface-imaging is less invasive than manual measurement and takes less time [6].…”
