Janda says that a painful or painless sacroiliac blockage can result in a hypotonic gluteus maximus and/or a hypertonic piriformis.4 By the use of multichannel surface EMG studies, Janda proved that a patient with a hypotonic gluteus maximus will exhibit an abnormal pattern of hip extension that can occur during ordinary walking.5 Due to this abnormal hip extension pattern, there was an exaggeration or over activation of the neck extensors and thereby \"dysfunction of all cervical structures.\" The pattern of abnormal hip extension was precipitated by the hypotonic gluteus maximus.
The EMG study was done on a 50 year-old actress who, after a neck injury that occurred 30 years ago, suffered with dizziness, vertigo and tension headaches. Manipulation of the atlanto-occipital and atlantoaxial joints gave her only short-term relief. Possibly in this case, if the blocked sacroiliac joint was the cause of the hypotonic gluteus maximus, then............................
