Pelvic Tilting and Rotations
sajida mazhar
Pelvic motion and muscle function
• Pelvis is connection
link between spine
lower extremity
• Movement of pelvis
cause motion at hip
and lumber spine
articulations
• Hip musculature cause
pelvic motion through
reverse action
Pelvic motion and muscle function
• Hip flex cause an ant pelvic
tilt
• Hip ext post pelv tilt
• Abductors and adductors lat
pelvic tilt
• Rotators cause pelvic rotation
• To prevent excessive pelvic
motion when moving femur
at hip
• Pelvis must stabilized by
abdominals , errector spine,
multifidus, and quadratus
lumborm
Anterior pelvic tilt
• ant sup illiac
spine of pelvis
move ant and inf
• Closer to ant asp
of femur as
pelvis rot
forward around
transverse axis of
hip jts
• Result in hip flex
and inc lumber
spine extension
Anterior pelvic tilt
• Muscle causing this
are hip flexors and
back extensors
• During standing line
of gravity trunk falls
ant to axis of hip jt
effect is an ant pelvic
tilt movt
• Stability provided by
abdominal muscle
and hip ext muscle.
Post pelvic tilt
• Post sup illc
spine of
pelvis move
post and inf
• Thus closer
post aspect
of femur
• As pelvic
rotate back
ward around
axis of hip
• Result in hip
ext n lumber
spine flexion
Post pelvic tilt
• Muscle causing this
motion r
• Hip extensors n
trunk flex
• During standing
when line of gravity
of trunk fall post to
axis of hip jt
• Effect post pl tilt
• Dynamic stability
provided by
• Hip flex n back
extensors
• Passive stability is by
illio femoral lig
