Introduction Manual palpation is commonly used for the assessment of patients with neuromusculoskeletal dysfunction [1]. Many pelvic landmarks are easily palpable on physical exam eg the iliac crest, the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS), posterior superior iliac spine (PSIS).

The anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) is the blunt process that marks the anterior end of the iliac crest. It is subcutaneous and can be palpated at the lateral end of the inguinal fold.

Spina iliaca anterior superior Definition The anterior superior iliac spine is a notable bony protuberance located at the junction of the superior margin (iliac crest) and the anterior margin of the ilium. The anterior superior iliac spine serves as an attachment point for significant structures such as the inguinal ligament and sartorius muscle.

The anatomical landmarks that are commonly located and contacted to perform these tests include the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS), the posterior superior iliac spine (PSIS), the iliac crest, the sacral sulcus, the sacral apex, and the inferior lateral angle of the sacrum (SILA).

The iliacus muscle belongs the group of the inner hip muscles, together with the psoas major, psoas minor, obturator externus, obturator internus, superior gemellus, inferior gemellus, piriformis, and quadratus femoris muscles. As a group, the inner hip muscles act upon the hip joint.

The anterior superior iliac spine ( ASIS) is a bony projection of the iliac bone, and an important landmark of surface anatomy. It refers to the anterior extremity of the iliac crest of the pelvis. It provides attachment for the inguinal ligament, and the sartorius muscle. [1]

Anterior Superior Iliac Spine X Ray
At the level of the anterior superior iliac spine, the fascia iliaca surrounds the iliac muscle, and the psoas major passes above the iliac muscle. The femoral nerve typically emerges from the inferior portion of the psoas major muscle to lie between the psoas major and the iliac muscles. The obturator nerve descends to the pelvis on the medial.

The anterior superior iliac spine is an important bony surface landmark and is the prominence is the most anterior part of the ilium. It can be palpated at the lateral end of the inguinal fold. Attachments include the inguinal ligament , sartorius muscle and depending on which resource you read, the tensor fasciae latae.

Structure. The Anterior superior iliac spine is formed by the union of the ilium and the pubis bones, which make up the pelvis. It is a small, triangular-shaped bone that protrudes from the front of the pelvis and can be easily felt through the skin. It is located on either side of the midline of the body, just below the waist.

The pelvic girdle, also known as the hip bone, is composed of three fused bones: the ilium, ischium and the pubic bone . The pelvic spine is the posterior portion of the pelvis below the lumbar spine, composed of the sacrum and coccyx.

The iliac crest is the superior margin of the ilium. It forms a curved ridge line of bone that can be palpated when you 'put your hands on your hips'. This bony crest provides attachments for a number of muscles, ligaments and fascia. Including the lateral abdominal muscles ( external abdominal oblique muscle, internal abdominal oblique.

Sartorius. The sartorius muscle ( Fig. 6.7) extends from the anterior superior iliac spine to the medial condyle of the tibia. The sartorius is supplied by the femoral nerve. It is a flexor of the hip and knee and also, along with other long muscles connecting the hip bone to the leg, balances the hip bone on the femur.
