#Badgley Book Sign (#BBS) best way to diagnose SIJ Subluxation Chronic Pain Disorder Syndrome (my monicker). Way to prove disorder: After shown in clinic, person sent for cross-table lateral X-ray of pelvis before & after 1” ischial bolster placed separately under each buttock...
Guideon bible works well as standardized bolster. Person sits on X-ray table w. legs horizontal. Measure of subluxation is shift of femur acetabulum, & this can be measured to mm. This shift occurs as hemipelvis rotates about virtual transverse-body axis about mid-SIJ region...
Rotation of hemi-pelvis (Ilium bone)around sacroiliac joint (SIJ) axis is only few degrees & unable to be seen via fluoroscopy; I tried. The cause of rotation is lax/injured SIJ ligaments. The secret of interpretation of data is to know which ligament system is injured...
#BADGLEY BOOK SIGN: @SimonoffBob. In reply to your question. My paper about Badgley Book Sign is not on-line. It was published in the proceedings, and I presented it from the stage. My tweet thread of 7/20/2019 describes how it is performed; so people can do it at home. More...
The #Badgley Book Sign I presented at the Interdisciplinary World Congress of Low Back and Pelvis Pain in Dubai in fall of 2013 will be discussed in a book I am writing about the diagnosis of #fibromyalgia....
My research of the #Badgley Book Sign is the first World announcement of a radiological study to directly demonstrate sacroiliac joint (SIJ) dysfunction (subluxation). NASA spent a million $ studying the problem (per Dr. Andry Vlemming; world class expert on SIJ)....
DIAGNOSIS: FM, hEDS, & HSD

#Fibromyalgia, #HSD, & #hEDS are subjects of this Twitter Thread. I am a General Medical Doctor who encounters these types of patients.
Undoubtedly, #HSD & #hEDS have genetic underpinnings. My speculation is that the majority, but not all, of the #fibromyalgia patients have clinically manifest joint hyper-mobility & genetic variations as part-cause of their disorders. Below I suggest a study of this matter.
Besides the usual Beighton hyperextensions, clinical manifestations of hyper-mobility include scoliosis (vertebral spine disks are specialized ligaments) & Genu valgus & varum, but that is not all ...
