How do you test for anterior innominate?
Compare the position of the medial malleoli again to see if there is a change. If there is a posterior innominate, the leg that appeared shorter will lengthen with the sit up. If there is an anterior innominate, the leg that appeared longer will shorten with the sit up.

How do you rotate the innominate joint?

How do you mobilise a sacral glide?
