Non-invasive assessment of sacroiliac joint and lumbar spine positioning in different unilateral sitting postures.

SIJ angular position differences among the seated postures were similar in magnitude to motions previously reported in participants undergoing prone passive hip abduction and external rotation. Sex differences, including greater sacral posterior tilt observed in females, likely reflect underlying morphological and physiological differences. Future studies should explore SIJ positioning during functional tasks in pathological populations to help elucidate the underlying causes of SIJ pain and inform treatment strategies.
