The Sacroiliac Joint: A Contemporary Perspective for Therapy & Rehabilitation

The sacroiliac joint is the joint in the bony pelvis between the sacrum and the ilium of the pelvis. Common pathological conditions affecting the sacroiliac joint are inflammatory, mechanical, degenerative, neoplastic and iatrogenic conditions. The mechanical condition is usually referred to as ‘sacroiliac joint syndrome’. Injections into the SI joint can provide both diagnosis and treatment. Physical therapy can also be very helpful. There is no gold standard for treatment. Often the clinician uses his/her experience in making recommendations. As lots of people suffer from SI joint dysfunction, further study on the mechanism and treatment of SI joint dysfunction is necessary and valuable.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring the sacroiliac joint: a contemporary perspective for therapy & rehabilitation. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Structure and function of sacroiliac joint
• Sacroiliac joint dysfunction
• Sacroiliitis
• Causes of SI joint dysfunction
• Symptoms and diagnosis
• Therapy and rehabilitation
• Anatomic and neurological analysis

Authors should read over the journal’s Authors’ Guidelines carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly notice that the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title is supposed to be specified and the research field “Special Issue - The Sacroiliac Joint: A Contemporary Perspective for Therapy & Rehabilitation” should be chosen during your submission.
