Figure 1

Demonstration of the cushioning phenomenon in the posterior SIJ region in response to the integration kinematics at the SIJ. In red is the fat within the white interosseous ligaments. (A) The SIJ under no force, the ligaments are tense (B) the SIJ is under force or load compression called ‘integration’ (arrows), the fat can be seen here deforming within the relaxed interosseous ligaments. I: ilium, Inf: inferior, L: left, R: rotation movement, Ri: right, S: sacrum, Sup: superior T: translation movement.
