Range of Years	No restrictions.
Limits:	Only English-language articles were included.
Inclusions/Exclusions	Included only English language primary reliability studies. Excluded theses, validity studies, and review articles.
Terms Used	PSIS reliability, posterior superior iliac spine reliability, PSIS agreement, posterior superior iliac spine agreement; PSIS palpation; posterior superior iliac spine palpation. This strategy was repeated substituting the words “sacroiliac” and “pelvic” and “landmark” for the acronym PSIS.
