Anonymous – Pelvis Restoration Course
We have taken video from the live 15-hour lecture and lab course including Power Point slides, demonstration, lab, and audience question and answer sessions. This home study course is available by online/digital  which allows for viewing in the comfort of your home or office. You will have 21 days to complete the home study from the time you receive online access.
This advanced lecture and lab course is designed to assist clinicians with those complex patients that are struggling to restore reciprocal function of their pelvis. The clinician will gain an appreciation for the influences of an asymmetrical pelvis and how this imbalance contributes to pelvis dysfunction. We will explore in detail the function of the pelvic inlet and outlet as it relates to anatomy, respiration, and asymmetry in a multiple polyarticular chain system. Participants will be able to restore pelvic and respiratory neutrality through a PRI treatment approach while keeping individual activities of daily living in mind.
Education Level: Advanced
OBJECTIVES

Identify musculature of the pelvic inlet and outlet.
Explain how the respiratory diaphragm integrates with pelvic diaphragm function and rehabilitation.
Recognize pelvic asymmetry and understand the relationship of pelvic asymmetry and pelvis function required for rest, upright work, and pleasure related activity.
Identify the recommended treatment algorithm for each PRI pattern pertaining to the pelvis.
Outline how to design a postural isolation and inhibition program that includes the integration of appropriate pubo-sacral dynamics to restore normal reciprocal pelvic inlet and outlet function.

PRE-READING
ANATOMY
Muscular Structures of the Pelvic Floor
Pelvic Inlet: diaphragm, rectus femoris, sartorius, internal obliques, transverse abdominis, iliacus
Pelvic Outlet: hamstrings, IC adductor magus, gluteus maximus, piriformis, coccygeus, pubococcygeus, obturator, iliococcygeus, puborectalis, urogenital diaphragm
Anterior Interior Chain (AIC)
Muscles: Diaphragm, Psoas, Iliacus, TFL, Vastus Lateralis, Biceps Femoris
There are two anterior interior polyarticular muscular chains in the body that have a significant influence on respiration, rotation of the trunk, ribcage, spine and lower extremities.  They are composed of muscles that attach to the costal cartilage and bone of rib 7 through twelve to the lateral patella, head of the fibula and lateral condyle of the tibia.  These two tracts of muscles, one on the left side of the interior thoraco-abdominal-pelvic cavity and one on the right, are composed of the diaphragm and the psoas muscle. With the iliacus, tensor fasciae latae, biceps femoris and vastus lateralis muscles this chain provides the support and anchor for abdominal counter force, trunk rotation and flexion movement.
Opposition Muscles: Hamstrings, Gluteals, Internal Obliques
Posterior Exterior Chain (PEC)
Muscles: Latissimus Dorsum, Quadratus Lumborum, Posterior Intercostals, Serratus Posterior, Iliocostalis Lumborum
Opposition Muscles: Abdominal Obliques
PELVIC FLOOR RESTORATION TESTS
STANDING REACH TEST
Position

Patient stands upright with knees fully extended and arms at side of trunk.
Ask patient to align feet with each other so they are parallel.
Make sure clothing is unrestricted.
Keep shoes on.

Mechanics Without Hip Shift

Ask patient to reach down toward floor as arms move forward and hips move back.
Instruct patient to keep back rounded in attempting to touch toes with fingertips.
Encourage the patient to exhale as they reach toward the toes.
Measure distance from fingers to floor in inches.

Mechanics With Hip Shift

Ask patient to reach down toward floor as right fingers overlap left fingers, arms move forward and as hips move back.
Instruct patient to keep back rounded in attempting to touch left toes with both left and right fingertips, while shifting left hip back.
Encourage the patient to exhale when reaching toward the toes with knees fully extended.
Measure distance directly in front of left toes from fingers to the floor in inches.
Repeat procedure on other side by asking patient to reach down toward floor and right toes, accordingly.

Left AIC: Inability reflects:Lack of right anterior left posterior inlet, lack of left anterior and right posterior outlet, hyperactivity of left anterior and right posterior inlet, or hyperactivity of right anterior and left posterior outlet
PEC: Inability reflects: Lack of bilateral posterior inlet and bilateral anterior outlet, or hyperactivity of bilateral anterior inlet and bilateral posterior outlet.
*ability to touch toes with + Adduction Drop Test & + PADT = Pathological PEC
PELVIC ASCENSION DROP TEST (PADT)
The patient lies on their side with the top and lower hips and knees flexed to 90 degrees.
The patient is then instructed to actively bring the top leg back to neutral while maintaining 90 degrees of knee flexion, and to touch their knee to the mat. This represents a negative test.
A positive test is indicated by the inability of the active leg’s pelvic floor to ascend secondary to the left outlet’s inability to abduct.
PASSIVE ABDUCTION RAISE TEST (PADT)
The patient lies on his or her side with their bottom knee and hip flexed at 70-90°. Their top knee and hip will remain straight (0-degrees). Passively stabilize the patient’s innominate with one hand as the other hand passively moves their leg into abduction. Standing behind the patient usually provides more examiner biomechanical comfort in lifting the leg. Patients with tight right intercostal walls and short and strong right adductors will demonstrate limited passive abduction when compared to the other side. Usually the examiner will feel lateral buttressing of the femoral head on the lateral superior acetabulum as the femur is abducted. When right thoracic abduction or sidebending occurs, discontinue the test.
A positive test is indicated by a restriction on one or both sides that does not allow sufficient abduction secondary to lack of outlet adduction. Usually seen on the right side especially if Left Adduction Drop Test is positive in a Left AIC oriented patient or a patient has a right Hruska Adduction Lift Test of less than a 3.
FUNCTIONAL SQUAT TEST
LEVEL 1: Ability to initiate a squat by slightly bending knees while trunk remains in flexion. Inability reflects lack of posterior pelvic rotation and hyperactive back extensors.
LEVEL 2: Ability to begin squatting, moving bottom back and knees forward while trunk remains in flexion. Inability reflects lack of femoral adduction, hyperactive hip flexors, and overactive FA ER’s.
LEVEL 3: Ability to squat bringing bottom below knee level while keeping heels down and trunk flexed. Inability reflects tight intercostals and hyperactive anterior / posterior tibialis.
LEVEL 4: Ability to squat keeping heels down, trunk flexed and bottom to heels. Inability reflects hyperactive quads and gastroc-soleus.
LEVEL 5: Ability to maximally squat keeping heels down and trunk flexed while keeping center of gravity through heels. Inability reflects lack of maximal AF IR and synchronized mechanics of diaphragm and pelvic floor respiration.
