Somatic Dysfunction of the SIJ is defined as hypo or hyper-mobility of the joint in addition to a malalignment or change of positioning of the sacrum and ilium bones (e.g. Forward sacral torsion, backward sacral torsion, bilateral anterior or posterior sacral nutation, Unilateral anterior and posterior sacral nutation). The classic physical signs for a dysfunction of the sacroiliac joint in which a unilateral anterior nutation of the sacrum or ilium has occurred in the sagittal plane about a transverse axis are: Sacral sulcus seen deeper, PSIS seen Caudad, Inferior lateral angle (ILA) seen Posterior, Pubic tubercle seen as Cephalad, ASIS as Cephalad, Sacroiliac joint seen upper pole and tender, Sacrospinous and Sacrotuberous ligament are under tension and gait abnormality seen due to leg length discrepancy.
