48. Gillet’s Test Performed knee to chest while standing: Pull knees alternately to chest. The PSIS that moves down the furthest in relation to the opposite one is the unblocked side. The blocked side will come very little or appear to move cephalically. Recruitment is from the bottom up. Hip flexion must be at least 90 degrees.
50. Piedallu’s Sign : The movement of the posterior superior iliac spines upon forward flexion. A positive Piedallu’s sign is asymetrical movement.
51. Gaelen’s Test: The patient lies on the side with the upper leg (test leg) hyperextended at the hip (1st photo). The patient holds the lower leg flexed against the chest. The examiner stabilizes the pelvis while extending the hip of the uppermost leg. The test can also be performed supine (2nd) but this position may limit the amount of hyperextension. Position patient so the test hip extends beyond the edge pf the table. Then draw up both legs onto the chest then slowly lower the test leg into extension. Pain in the sacroiliac joints indicates a positive test.
