|
|
What does the Seated Flexion Test (SeFT) tell you about sacral dysfunction?

|
What does Backward Bending Test (BBT) or Sphinx tell you about sacral dysfunction?
|
Test the ability of the sacrum to move into flexion.
(If both sides of the sacral base can flex, then findings get better, and you know you have a flexed dysfunction. If only one side goes into flexion, findings appear worse, and you have extended dysfunction.) |

What does Lumbar Spring tell you about sacral dysfunction?
|
Tests the flexibility of the lumbar spine.
Sacral extension restricts lumbar flexibility, so good spring = flexed, poor spring = extended. |
