Question

while palpating a patient, you find a decrease in anterior glide of the sacral base. whats the correct segmental contact point (scp ) and line of drive (lod) to adjust this patient? a) ischial tuberosity, p-a b) psis, a-p c) sacral base, p-a d) sacral apex, p-a

Explanation:

To address a decrease in anterior glide of the sacral base, we analyze the options:

• Option a: Ischial tuberosity is not the correct SCP for sacral base glide issues.
• Option b: PSIS (posterior superior iliac spine) and A - P (anterior - posterior) LOD is incorrect for sacral base anterior glide restoration.
• Option c: The sacral base is the relevant SCP, and a posterior - anterior (P - A) LOD helps restore anterior glide (since a P - A force on the sacral base can enhance its anterior movement).
• Option d: Sacral apex is not the correct SCP for sacral base glide problems.

Answer:

c) Sacral base, P - A
