The complex joint known as the sacroiliac (SI) joint connects the ilium, one of the pelvic bones, to the sacrum, the triangular bone at the base of the spine.  Understanding the sacroiliac joint's anatomy is essential to comprehend how it works and the conditions that can affect it. Let's examine its structure and makeup in more detail. Bones: The articulation of the auricular surfaces of the sacrum and ilium results in the formation of the sacroiliac joint.  Rough, asymmetrical regions with fibrocartilage cover the auricular surfaces. The synovial portion of the sacrum and the ilium together make up the majority of the joint. Ligaments: The sacroiliac joint is stabilized and supported by several ligaments. These consist of: Anterior sacroiliac ligament: This powerful ligament strengthens the front of the joint by joining the anterior surface of the sacrum to the iliac fossa. Posterior sacroiliac ligament: This ligament supports the back of the joint by joining the ilium to t

 What is SLR Test? The straight leg raise test is a neurodynamic test. The SLR is a neural tension test that can be used to determine whether neural tissue is involved in a space-occupying lesion, frequently a herniated lumbar disc. Technique: SLR is an inactive ( passive ) test. The normal leg is tested first before the other legs, one at a time. The patient is placed in a supine position without a pillow under his or her head, with the hip medially rotated and adducted and the knee extended, to perform the SLR test. While maintaining the knee in its fully extended position, the clinician raises the patient's leg by the posterior ankle. Up until the patient complains of pain or tightness in the back or back of the leg, the clinician keeps lifting the patient's leg by flexing at the hip. Reasoning: Acute dural inflammation, gluteal abscess, disc protrusion or extrusion, buttock tumor, and acute spondylosis are all possible causes of pain at less than 30 degrees of hip flexion

What does the term Lordosis mean? The spine's anterior curvature is known as lordosis. Excessive curvature of the lumbar spine can cause an increased lordosis, also known as hyperlordosis . It is a pathological exaggeration of the typical curves present in the cervical and lumbar spines. Causes of Increased Lordosis: Increased lordosis can be brought on by a variety of factors. Functional or postural deformity Lax muscles, particularly those in the abdomen, in conjunction with tight muscles, particularly those in the hip flexors or lumbar extensors a large belly brought on by being overweight or pregnant strong and typically tense muscles Spondylolisthesis Congenital issues, like bilateral congenital hip dislocation failure to segment the facet joint segment's neural arch  putting on high-heeled footwear Symptoms of Lordosis: Lower back pain Poor posture Stiffness (Stiff neck and back) Difficulty in standing and walking Restricted ROM Tingling and numbness Exaggerated lordosi
