AIR: WHAT: Pain over the sacroiliac joints, elicited during physical examination while applying stress to the SI-joints. WHY: A positive stress test is a weak indication of sacroiliitis or of another disease process involving the SI-joints HOW: There are four methods to apply stress to the SI-joints: 1. compression on the side, while the patient is lying on one side; 2. posterior compression on the sacrum; 3. anterior compression on the spinae iliacae; 4. Menell's maneuver: hyperextension of one leg, while the other is in maximal flexion.
