    Sacrum Torsio

    Uploaded by

    Lakshita Prajapati
    Sacrum torsion is a physiologic movement of the sacrum during ambulation and forward bending where the sacrum rotates around an oblique axis relative to the innominate bones. Forward torsions occur when the spine is in neutral posture without flexion or extension, while backward torsions occur with lumbar flexion and sacral extension. Maladaptions can occur if the L5 vertebrae does not rotate in the opposite direction of the sacrum.

    Sacrum Torsion

    A physiologic function occurring in the sacrum during ambulation and forward


    bending. A sacral somatic dysfunction around an oblique axis in which a torque
    occurs between the sacrum and innominates. The L5 vertebra rotates in the
    opposite direction of the sacrum. If the L5 does not rotate opposite to the sacrum,
    L5 is termed maladapted.Other terms for this maladaption include: rotations about
    an oblique axis, anterior or posterior sacrum and a torsion with a non-compensated
    L5.

    Forward torsions occur when the spine is in “easy neutral”, that is without significant
    flexion or extension. Backward torsions occur with flexion of the lumbar spine and
    extension of the sacral base (rotation about the middle transverse axis).

    Left on Left Anterior Sacral Torsion -- L5 Adaptive

    A anterior or forward torsion of the sacrum to the left on the left oblique axis (LOL)
    results from an inability of the right sacral base to move into posterior nutation
    (sacral extension) with flexion of the lumbar spine. In the neutral position, the
    sacrum is side bent right and rotated left. When lumbar flexion is introduced,
    asymmetry increases. When lumbar extension is introduced, symmetry improves.

    Left on Right Posterior Sacral Torsion -- L5 Adaptive

    A posterior or backward torsion of the sacrum to the left on the right oblique axis
    (LOR) results from an inability of the left sacral base to move into anterior nutation
    (sacral flexion) with extension of the lumbar spine. In the neutral position, the
    sacrum is side bent right and rotated left.

    Right on Left Posterior Sacral Torsion -- L5 Adaptive


    A posterior or backward torsion of the sacrum to the right on the left oblique axis
    (ROL) results from an inability of the right sacral base to move into anterior nutation
    (sacral flexion) with extension of the lumbar spine. In the neutral position, the
    sacrum is side bent left and rotated right.
