INTRODUCTION HISTORICAL REVIEW OF SACROILAIC JOINT RESEARCH Over many centuries many scientist have shown an interest in the structure and function of sacroiliac joint in relation to the movement and pain. These historical studies include many important facts. One of the most important issues in sacroiliac joint is the mobility of the joint. From Hippocrates (460-377 BC) to Vaesalius (1514-1564), it was suggested that the Sacroiliac joints are mobile only during the pregnancy period . Nontheeless studies in the early centuries that showed the Sacroiliac joints are mobile in both men and women (Diemerbroeck 1689). Following Diemerbroeck’ work observed that SIJ has a synovial membrane for its mobility and Zagals in the mid 19 th century …show more content…

In 1949 Testut and Latarget further modify the descripton by concluding that the Sacroiliac joint contain a freely mobile ventral aspect and an ossified dorsal aspect. They dubbed the Sacroiliac joint as ‘diaarthro-amphiarthrosis’ that is a joint that has characteristics of both a freely mobile joint and an ossified …show more content…

The fact that bulging of the disc which leads to nerve entrapment and radiating pain resulting in a major shift of the medical world away from the Sacroiliac joint as the primary cause of ischaligia. Historically the period of 1950s in which scientist Solonen finalized his thesis on Sacroiliac joint is significant for spine research. In the previous decades the researchs and treatment has focused on the role of Sacroiliac joint as a major source of low back pain. One scientist Gardner (1950), concluded that some movement is necessary for the development and maintenance of the Sacroiliac joint. According to Weisel the Sacroiliac joint consist of two condyles which forms a saddle joint. Solonen described the articular surface of the sacroiliac joint as ‘ nodular and pitted’. According to Solonen his findings to be pathological as he tried to understand Sacroiliac joint function by envisioning the sacrum as a simple wedge between the iliac bones (e.g. the Weisl model).1

Sacroiliac joint dysfunction is found in 15 to 30% individuals with low back pain.1 Sacroiliac joint dysfunction can be a result of acute trauma, heavy lifting, prolonged bending, torsional strain, fall on to the buttocks and motor vehicle accidents. Chronic and repetitive shear or torsional forces associated with sports like golf, bowling, skating may also result in sacroiliac joint dysfunction. Prolonged sitting or lying on the affected side, more weight bearing on the affected side during walking or standing, forward bending with knees extended may also predispose a person to sacroiliac joint dysfunction.3 Mechanism of dysfunction: Dysfunction occurs mostly when a person lifts something in a forward flexed position or stands in lordotic posture. Due to this, line of gravity shifts anterior to the acetabulum which creates rotational force in extension around

This study examined the differences in articular surface morphology of caudal vertebrae between prehensile and non-prehensile tailed primates. Articular surface is skeletal surface, which includes bone and cartilage, that makes contact with other skeletal surface as part of a joint. Variation in the morphology of articular surface can confer a greater capacity for mechanical loading, which is required for prehensile primates as they often use their tails to suspend their entire weight during locomotion. In this experiment, it was hypothesized that articular surface area and curvature in caudal vertebrae could be used to distinguish between prehensile and non-prehensile tails. The results showed that articular surfaces found in both proximal and distal regions were greater in prehensile tailed primates, in comparison to primates that were non-prehensile tailed.

The SI joint just isn 't the simplest joint to get into for interventional techniques. Fluoroscopic assistance is relevant, as the joint is jagged and irregular. The entry into it may take an exclusive angle. Figuring out the specific entry factor with the actual time x-ray could make the difference between a positive procedure with a joyful patient versus a neglected joint and a sufferer ultimate in soreness. Along with the interventional soreness efforts, further cure choices comprise bodily cure, anti-inflammatory remedy, chiropractic cure, and possibly acupuncture and therapeutic massage.

The knee joint is also known as tibiofemoral joint. It is a synovial hinge joint formed between three bones which are the femur, tibia and patella (Taylor, n.d.). There are two rounded, convex processes which are known as condyles on the distal end of the femur. The distal end of the femur meets two rounded, concave condyles at the proximal end of the tibia (Tyalor, n.d.). A thick, triangular bone which is known as patella lies anterior surface between the femur and tibia.

Some of the best known are knee, fetlock, coffin, and hock. This joint is designed to allow for frictionless movement and absorbing concussion. The ends of the bone are covered in articular cartilage which allows them to glide against each other, and the joint is enclosed by a capsule with the synovial membrane, which produces synovial fluid to lubricate and cushion the joint. Because of the nature of the horse’s movement, these joints will receive some stress anytime they move, but under heavy work, the wear and tear can cause some serious problems.

With this diagram we determined that there are four forces acting on on the spine; force coming from the pelvis (FP), the erector spinae muscle (FM), the shoulder (FS), and the weight of the spine (FW). The arrow that represents the force coming from the pelvis is drawn in any direction because we do not yet know the direction nor magnitude of the force.

Did you know that there are over 100 different types of arthritis that can affect your bones and joints? This article will hopefully shine some light on the subject and illuminate any information that you may have been unaware of. Like many words in the English language, the word arthritis can be traced back to Greek origins. The word arth means “joint”, and itis means “inflammation”. Clearly, you can understand that arthritis literally means the

BACKGROUND AND LITERATURE REVIEW 2. Clinical Background 2.1 The human spine The human spine (also referred to as vertebral column or spinal column) is a bony structure in the middle of the back starts at the base of the skull and continues to the pelvis. It consists of vertebrae (small bones) and joints (intervertebral disks) together to form a flexible and stable spinal column.
