How to Diagnose the Sacrum Part 2

[@kathleensweeney6886]

I have been a DO for 38 years and this is best explanation I have ever had of sacrum! Wish I had heard it in medical school at POCM!

5 years later as a PGY1, still watch this video before Comlex !

[@katies5415]

OSM2 here. Still watch this video before ever exam/ CPA/ now for boards prep. Thanks so much!!

[@kevinjacome8839]

this was incredibly helpful, man!! Some of my tuition money should go to you. Thanks!

[@xxtimkimxx]

Wow. Clearest most precise explanation for sacral diagnoses. Awesome video man !!

Been using this video for 3 years now, wonderful little review! Another tip for quickly getting the answer for boards and tests is the posterior ILA will always determine the rotational aspect in a torsion question. So, if something gives it away that it's torsion (opp ILA and sulcus) and you have an ILA (can be either) finding with an axis (sphinx, spring, sft)...it's a quick, easy point, and you don't have to waste any more time drawing it out in your head.

This is huge. Thank you.

[@bojanhrpka8778]

absolutely perfect review for boards. understand this better than ever!

[@LVE2103]

It hits every time I look at these vids. Appreciate you bro!

[@starlight200816]

Lined up so well with my professors problem set. Studying for comlex and reviewing sacrum with this video!!!!!!!!!!

[@lola-mo5sh]

Perfect. the science is very helpeful, the presentation to the point wth a nice and pleasant voice. Thank you very much.

[@Mason03423]

I will be revisiting this for boards for sure! Thanks!

[@auto2829]

Really great set of videos, thank you!

[@bxvids2761]

You have saved me countless times. Thank you!

[@MohammedAhmed-hd8li]

Thank you for the breakdown. Much appreciated!

[@ganzhor2]

this is so dank

[@studywitch]

this is the best. thank you so much!

[@gracekenney1300]

great video, always watch before an exam

Well done. Clear explanation of discovering the sacral torsion based on the L5 findings. (This starts at 7:45) Here's another added tip: if it is a forward torsion (L/L or R/R) then it is basically normal/physiologic sacral mechanics that got stuck so L5 will have "normal" Fryette Type I mechanics as well. (Both are "normal" gone awry). If the patient has a backward torsion (R/L or L/R), then they have non-physiologic sacral mechanics that got stuck and L5 will compensate with Fryette Type II mechanics. (Both have dysfunctional mechanics). #YoYo, the best resource for the how and why of sacral mechanics is found in Fred Mitchell, Jr, DO's textbooks. The pelvis and sacrum are Volume 3 of The Muscle Energy Manual, more commonly known as "The Mitchell Manual." The books are out of print, and thus VERY expensive, but you might be able to convince one of your OP&P/OMM/OMT professors to let you look at their copy.

[@alexmark1634]

mechanics according to torsion in the book you mentioned is wrong according to the recent papers published inThe Journal of Orthopaedic Medicine

[@williamlo4582]

alex mark could you share which article it is?

[@williamlo4582]

Flexion or Extension would have corresponding L5/S1 FRS or ERS pattern?

[@missswatimahapatra]

awesome video, thank you SO much! they should have just played this in class :-)

[@raider25ish]

This is a god video thank you

[@royalexander5437]

Very helpful, thanks

[@MrKanna1]

Why is there no data on SFT when spring / Sphinx test comes. Is there a specific reason. Anyone pls clarify my doubt. Thnx.

[@uniboldsilver]

this is helpful but it doesn't explain at all why or how these things occur

[@poorasslawstudent]

News flash OMM is fake. But this video is all I use to study this garbage.
