Yeoman Test | Sacroiliitis Examination | SIJ assessment<\/h2>\nThe Yeoman Test is a provocation test for an inflamed sacroiliac joint, in medical terms called sacroiliitis.\n\nSacroiliitis involves inflammation of one or both SI joints and may be a feature of other spondyloarthropathies such as ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, or arthritis related to for example inflammatory bowel disease or Crohn\u2019s disease.\n\nThe diagnosis is made based on history taking, laboratory findings, and subsequent MRI evaluation. One physical test that is proposed for the condition is Yeoman\u2019s test. Due to the fact that physical tests are poorly described for sacroiliitis and no validation has taken place yet the clinical value remains questionable.\n

The patient\u2019s leg is flexed to around 90\u00b0 and you\u2019re going to grab onto the distal femur with one hand. The other hand is placed over the ipsilateral posterior superior iliac spine to fixate movement at the pelvis. Then passively move the thigh into extension.\n\nA positive test is indicated by the reproduction of the patient\u2019s SI joint or buttock pain.\n\nOther common orthopedic tests that aim to provoke the sacroiliac joint are:\n
