Question
in a scenario where a patient presents with a right posterior inferior ilium, which hand position would you apply for the indifferent/stabilization hand during the prone pelvic adjustment?
superior proximal hypothenar on the left psis
superior proximal hypothenar on the right sacral apex
inferior proximal hypothenar on the left sacral apex
inferior proximal hypothenar on the right psis
For prone pelvic adjustment of a right posterior inferior ilium, the stabilization hand (indifferent hand) is placed to anchor the contralateral (left) posterior superior iliac spine (PSIS) using the superior proximal hypothenar. This stabilizes the unaffected side while the other hand adjusts the dysfunctional right ilium.
