説明

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>This article focuses on the (functional) anatomy and biomechanics of the pelvic girdle and specifically the sacroiliac joints (<jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">SIJ</jats:styled-content>s). The <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">SIJ</jats:styled-content>s are essential for effective load transfer between the spine and legs. The sacrum, pelvis and spine, and the connections to the arms, legs and head, are functionally interrelated through muscular, fascial and ligamentous interconnections. A historical overview is presented on pelvic and especially <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">SIJ</jats:styled-content> research, followed by a general functional anatomical overview of the pelvis. In specific sections, the development and maturation of the <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">SIJ</jats:styled-content> is discussed, and a description of the bony anatomy and sexual morphism of the pelvis and <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">SIJ</jats:styled-content> is debated. The literature on the <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">SIJ</jats:styled-content> ligaments and innervation is discussed, followed by a section on the pathology of the <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">SIJ</jats:styled-content>. Pelvic movement studies are investigated and biomechanical models for <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">SIJ</jats:styled-content> stability analyzed, including examples of insufficient versus excessive sacroiliac force closure.</jats:p>
