*Classification during the clinical visit: pain experienced between the posterior iliac crest and the gluteal fold or in the symphysis, weight-bearing related pain, diminished capacity to stand, walk and sit, positive clinical diagnostic tests and no nerve root syndrome [3]. Classification based on the results of the self-administered tests and questionnaires: pain drawing with well defined markings of pain over the gluteal area or the symphyseal joint, a history of weight-bearing related pain in the pelvic girdle, positive self-administered tests and no nerve root syndrome.
