What is the Sacroiliac Joint?
The joint is comprised of the area in which the sacrum and iliac bones meet.
Stabilization of the SI Joint: Two Types
Form Closure
Form closure is the stability that happens when the tight fitting joint surfaces of the SI joint are close together. This is very much dependent on the size and shape of each person’s structure.
Force Closure
Force closure is the support offered to the SI joint by the ligaments and muscular systems.
Most research is is clear that no muscles directly move the SI joints, but its important to understand how their dysfunction can promote sacroiliac joint dysfunction.
