Historische Denkmodelle der Iliosakralbewegungen – Teil 2

This article provides an overview of historical biomechanical models for the sacroiliac joint in osteopathy. In the 1st part, the relevance of the biomechanics of the pelvis for an independent consideration was discussed. It explained historical views about the influence of pelvic mechanics on the maintenance of normal body function from a static, neurological, visceral, fascial and craniosacral perspective. The role of biomechanical modelling in clinical application was also addressed. In this 2nd part, the core statements of the Fryette-model [1], the Strachan-model [2] and the Mitchell-model [3], [4], [5] are elaborated and compared with regards to their consistency. Finally, the Mitchell model will be discussed in greater detail since it is the most comprehensive of the presented models for sacroiliac motion.
