It seems to me that these maneuvers compress the bisacromial diameter. I'm not sure how rotation of the hips does the same thing, or how it increases AP diameter. It seems to me that if there were mobility of the pubic symphasis that rotation of the hips would potentially decrease the AP diameter.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
