Video Summary

The video is a recording of a lecture titled "Evidence-Based Diagnosis of SI Joint Pain Pathology" by Dr. Heidi Prather. Dr. Prather discusses the complexity and challenges of diagnosing and treating SI joint pain. She emphasizes the importance of understanding the biomechanics of the SI joint and the surrounding structures, such as the hip and lumbar spine. She suggests taking a comprehensive history and conducting a thorough physical examination to evaluate the patient's symptoms and identify any contributing factors. She also discusses the use of provocative tests, injections, and diagnostic imaging to aid in the diagnosis process. Dr. Prather emphasizes the need for further research and consensus on diagnostic criteria for SI joint pain. The lecture was part of the AAP Virtual Didactics series and was hosted by the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. The lecture was recorded and will be available for viewing on the AAP website. The video is approximately 18 minutes long. 00:18:07
