This broader classification is now called deep gluteal syndrome, of which piriformis syndrome is one cause. [ 79 ] [ 29 ] Today piriformis syndrome is in the same place herniated disk once were - there is a link between the pathophysiology and the symptoms (it's clear why the most studied treatments work), but piriformis syndrome does not have ...
The symptoms affect just one particular part of the body, depending on which nerve is affected. The diagnosis is largely clinical and can be confirmed with diagnostic nerve blocks. Occasionally imaging and electrophysiology studies aid in the diagnosis. Timely diagnosis is important as untreated chronic nerve compression may cause permanent damage.
The all encompassing term "deep gluteal syndrome" was developed to appreciate the many causes of non-discogenic sciatic nerve entrapment in the deep gluteal space. Piriformis syndrome is now considered one of many causes of deep gluteal syndrome. [1] 1947 - Piriformis syndrome described. [31]
Sacroiliac joint dysfunction is an outcome of either extra-articular dysfunction or from intraarticular dysfunction. SI joint dysfunction is sometimes referred to as "sacroiliac joint instability" or "sacroiliac joint insufficiency" due to the support the once strong and taut ligaments can no longer sustain.
The normal gluteus maximus gait is when the gluteus maxims begins to contract at moment of heel-strike, slowing forward motion of trunk by arresting flexion of hip and initiating extension. When gluteus maximus is weak, trunk lurches backward (gluteus maximus lurch) at heel-strike on weakened side to interrupt forward motion of the trunk. [12]

The gluteus maximus arises from the posterior gluteal line of the inner upper ilium, and the rough portion of bone including the crest, immediately above and behind it; from the posterior surface of the lower part of the sacrum and the side of the coccyx; from the aponeurosis of the erector spinae (lumbodorsal fascia), the sacrotuberous ligament, and the fascia covering the gluteus medius.
