The Gillet Test is also known as the Sacral Fixation Test, Ipsilateral Posterior Rotation Test, Marching Test and the Ipsilateral Flexion Kinetic Test. Many different variations of the Gillet Test have been described in the literature.

To perform this test, the patient stands while the examiner palpates the posterior superior iliac spine (PSIS) with one thumb and palpates the sacrum with the other thumb at a level parallel to the first thumb. The patient is then instructed to stand on one leg while pulling the hip of the side being palpated into 90° or more of hip flexion. The test is then repeated on the other side and compared bilaterally[1][2]. The examiner should compare each side for quality and amplitude of movement[3].

In a normally functioning pelvis, the pelvis of the side being palpated should rotate posteriorly, causing the PSIS to drop or move inferiorly[4]. A positive test is noted when the PSIS on the ipsilateral side of the knee flexion does not move or moves minimally in the inferior direction. [1]. A positive test is indicative of sacroiliac joint hypomobility
