Introduction

In this live-streamed webinar, Deborah Riczo will review special tests for pelvic girdle (PG) and sacroiliac (SI) pain, presently used in clinics, taught in DPT programs and listed in CINAHL Rehabil Guide (2017). The evidence for these special tests will be reviewed and challenged. A new algorithm of special tests utilized in the Pelvic Girdle Musculoskeletal Methodssm will be introduced and explained. The PGM method is in the developmental stages and has not yet been scientifically explored. We can all appreciate the importance and need for accurate and efficient special tests for use in clinical practice. Such tests are used by physiotherapists/physical therapists as first-line (primary care) providers for this population.

Aims

In this webinar, Deborah will review the reliability and intended use of commonly used static and movement-based special tests for SIJ pain and pain provocation tests.  She will introduce the PGM tests and the research supporting these tests.

Outline

This webinar recording consists of a 52 minute video.

Featured reviews
Great discussion ! I intend to research this new method along with doing the other courses on Physioplus related to the PGM method!

The PGM method is interesting as the construct focuses on muscle imbalances which lead to positional strain causing SIJ pathology. The special tests can be easily applied and can improve the assessment of the SIJ.

This is a real treat as a prompt that we should critically assess the methods we use in attributing our patients' pain to the SIJ. Thank you!

Dr. Riczo was very knowledgeable and quite comfortable with the topic. One could sense her experience and depth of research and she provided sufficient information to challenge our thinking and get us researching for more. Great Webinar!
