(English captions by Andrea Matsumoto from the University of Michigan)
0:03 - 0:08

The standing flexion test assesses for lumbosacral,
sacroiliac, or pelvic dysfunction.
0:08 - 0:12

The examiner stands behind the patient and
places hands on the iliac crests with thumbs
0:12 - 0:16

over the inferior notch of the posterior superior
iliac spine.
0:16 - 0:18

The patient slowly flexes forward.
0:18 - 0:24

If the posterior superior iliac spine moves
more cephalad on one side, the test is positive,
0:24 - 0:25

indicating dysfunction.
