This article focuses on the (functional) anatomy and biomechanics of the pelvic girdle and
specifically the sacroiliac joints (SIJ s). The SIJ s are essential for effective load transfer …

Problem statement: Pelvic girdle pain (PGP) is a common condition during or after
pregnancy with pain and disability as most important symptoms. These symptoms have a …

Background Many women have low back pain (LBP) or pelvic girdle pain (PGP) during
pregnancy, but there is limited evidence of effective primary and secondary preventive …

Background context The influence of the posterior pelvic ring ligaments on pelvic stability is
poorly understood. Low back pain and sacroiliac joint (SIJ) pain are described being related …

The principles of form and force closure were introduced to describe the complex
mechanism of sacroiliac joint (SIJ) stability. Form closure refers to a theoretical stable state …

Although biomechanics plays a role in the development and perhaps the persistent or
recurrent nature of low back pain (LBP), whether biomechanics alone can provide the basis …

Optimal lumbopelvic stability is a function of form closure (joint anatomy), force closure
(additional compressive forces acting across the joints) and neuromotor control. Impairment …

Novel theoretical models of movement have historically inspired the creation of new
methods for the application of human movement. The landmark theoretical model of spinal …

Background Pregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain (PPGP) is common and considered a
multifactorial condition with biomechanical and psychosocial contributions. The patient's …

The Active Straight Leg Raise (ASLR) is an important test in diagnosing pelvic girdle pain
(PGP). It is difficult to understand what happens normally during the ASLR, let alone why it …
