The University College Copenhagen's Physiotherapy Programme uses this youtube channel to support our students skills in performing clinical examination methods and tests.
The videos are used as support for teaching during the semesters, and in conjunction with clinical trials, casework and more. In this light our intention is that the videos should be viewed as a part of an overall learning modality, and not as a stand-alone learning tool,
In addition, the videos can be used for practitioners, teachers and others who need a refresher of specific tests.
This video is not medical advice to patients.

Description of test:
Testing sacroiliac joint dysfunction

Protocol: Have the patient do a pelvic lift, from supine. This resets the pelvis. The therapist measures the leg length discrepancy, using the level of his thumbs at the distal part of the medial ankle malleoli. The patient is then asked to sit up, keeping her legs straight. The leg length discrepancy is re-assessed.

Positive test: a change in leg length discrepancy from supine to long sitting is a sign of pelvic twist.
