Study Notes
- The pelvis must provide stability and mobility during gait.
- It offers a stable base for the lower limb and HAT.
- The pelvis must be stable enough to transfer weight and move the acetabulum.
- In the sagittal plane, the pelvis remains relatively level.
- Two cycles of sinusoidal motion occur with each step.
- Companion tilting of the pelvis occurs to provide additional motion at the hip.
- The amount of pelvic tilt depends on soft tissue mobility and walking speed.
- Assuming normal soft tissue mobility, pelvic tilt increases with walking speed.
- Anterior pelvic tilt accompanies hip extension during ambulation.
- Pelvic tilting motions complement hip flexion and extension.
