Shimpi Prone SI Joint Test | SIJ Dysfunction Assessment<\/h2>\nIf you follow us for a while you know that SI joint dysfunction tests really don\u2019t hold much value as they are unreliable and should be probably be abandoned. Despite findings that date back many years supporting these claims, Shimpi et al. (2018)<\/a> have recently proposed a novel test for SI joint dysfunction.\n\nThe test's sensitivity was rated at\u00a0 82% and specificity at 77%. Among other reasons, the sample size was small at 45 participants, this being the first study to evaluate this test, and the current reference standard of fluoroscopically guided SI joint block was not used which is why the test has a weak clinical value.\n

You are going to stand or sit on the symptomatic side and place the palm of your hand under the patient\u2019s anterior superior iliac spine. Then the patient is asked to extend the hip to around 15\u00b0, so the extended leg lifts slightly off the table.\n\nThe test is considered positive for SI joint dysfunction if the anterior superior iliac spine lifts off of the therapist\u2019s palm and is accompanied by the reproduction of the patient\u2019s familiar pain localized at the SI joint. In a negative test, the anterior superior iliac spine is supposed to press into the therapist\u2019s hand and no pain is reproduced.\n\n[cta]\n\nOther\u00a0 orthopedic tests for SIJ dysfunction are:\n
