Strongly suggest watching this video if you haven't seen it and still have questions about PRI. Barrett really does an excellent job here. His understanding and explanation are in perfect agreement with the Postural Restoration Institute philosophy. This lecture could have come straight out of their Myokinematic Restoration course.
I ask about cold hands and feet and look for muscle rigidity. I shake the arms from the elbows after treatment, as a swimmer on the blocks would. I say, "Increased sympathetic support happens when someone holds a gun to your head." Mention the TV show Charlie's Angels and older patients usually know what you're talking about. Being kidnapped helps.
These aren't tests per say. Just ways of introducing the subject to the patient.

If the left hemipelvis were oriented forward in the transverse plane with respect to the right.What will happen?
I don't know.
I do not know how to test for that in any reliable fashion - although I used to think I could....
There is no way to test pelvic motion or asymmetries as important in any painful condition - in any reliable fashion. Anyone who thinks so, is suffering from a strong perceptual confirmation bias.
I know.
I am still recovering from that myself.
