A sacral dysfunction on an oblique axis is considered physiological or non-physiological?

• A. Physiological
• B. Non-physiological
• C. Both
• D. Unknown

Answer: (A)

Motion around oblique axes is a normal, physiologic part of sacral movement during activities like walking and breathing. When a sacral dysfunction occurs on an oblique axis, it fits with these typical, physiologic torsions rather than representing a pathologic or non-physiologic motion. In other words, oblique-axis sacral dysfunctions are categorized as physiological because they reflect the normal range of sacral motion. Non-physiologic dysfunction would involve movements or axes outside what’s considered normal for sacral mechanics.
