Description

Sling system Anterior Oblique Sling

Anatomy Ipsilateral external/internal oblique Contralateral adductor complex Intervening fascia of abdominal region

Main functions Pelvic stability Generates force closure of pubic symphysis Provides stability during stance phase of gait Pulls leg through during swing phase

Dysfunctions Abdominal strains Groin strains Hernias Osteoiitis pubis Hip labral pathologies

Posterior Oblique Sling

Ipsilateral Latissimus Dorsi Contralateral Gluteus Maximus Intervening thoracolumbar fascia

Works with hamstrings to prevent rotation of ilium during walking Controls forwards movement of each limb eccentrically during gait Helps extend both arms at shoulder and femur at hip during propulsion phase Creates tension in TLF Increase sacroiliac joint stability

Lower back pain Hamstring strain Shoulder impingement Shoulder pain

Lateral Sling System

Gluteus medius Gluteus minimus Tensor fascia lata IT-band

Pelvofemoral stability during dynamic movement Maintains neutral pelvis Aids correct alignment above and below pelvis

Hip drop/Trendelenburg sign during stance and single leg phase Low back pain Sacroiliac dysfunction Hip impingement PFPS

Deep Longitudinal

Erector spinae Multifidus Thoracolumbar fascia Sacro-tuberous ligament Bicep femoris Perineal longus Tibialis anterior

Allows movement in sagittal plane Creates local stability Creates closed packet position at sacroiliac joint Active daily as contains postural

Low back pain SI joint dysfunction Hamstring strains PFPS Ankle sprains...
