Which of the following is the PRIMARY role of the pelvis?

What bony structures fuse together to form the acetabulum?

Which of the following is the primary function of the sacroiliac, sacrospinous, and sacrotuberous ligaments?

What passes through the small opening in the obturator foramen, which is otherwise closed off by the obturator membrane?

Which movement of the pelvis is characterized by a forward rotation, leading to an increased lumbar lordosis?

During walking, what type of pelvic tilt helps to minimize the vertical displacement of the center of gravity?

Which of the following muscles contributes to posterior pelvic tilt?

Which group of muscles plays a crucial role in controlling pelvic tilt and spinal stability?

In addition to facilitating forward movement, what is another benefit of pelvic rotation in the transverse plane during walking?

What condition does weakness in the gluteus medius often indicate?

How does anterior pelvic tilt affect the lumbar spine?

What is the primary function of the pelvic floor muscles?

Which of the following movements occurs in transverse plane?

Which muscles stabilize the pelvis in frontal plane during single-leg stance?

Which of the following can result from limited pelvic mobility?

What is the role of the sacrum in pelvic anatomy?

Which muscles contribute MOST to anterior pelvic tilt?

What is the potential consequence of excessive anterior pelvic tilt?

How do hip adductor muscles influence pelvic movement and stability?

What is the MAIN effect of posterior pelvic tilt on the lumbar spine?

What is the effect by the coordination between pelvic and spinal movements?

Which muscle group is primarily responsible for generating force during hip extension, contributing to movements such as standing up from a seated position?

In the context of pelvic kinesiology, what is the term for movements occurring in the frontal plane?

How is the weight transfer distributed in the pelvis?

What type of movements can cause altered pelvic alignment?

Which action could be affected by limited mobility?

Which structure is MOST responsible for shock absorption?

Which of the following muscle groups, when weakened, would MOST directly contribute to pelvic instability in the frontal plane during walking?

What is the relationship between posture, balance, locomotion and the pelvis?

A patient reports experiencing sharp, localized pain in their lower back that worsens with prolonged standing and twisting movements. Imaging reveals a slight anterior pelvic tilt. Which muscle imbalance is MOST likely contributing to the patient's condition?

A physical therapist is assessing a patient with suspected sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction. Which combination of findings would MOST strongly suggest involvement of the SI joint?

During a gait analysis, a patient exhibits excessive lateral trunk sway during the stance phase. Which of the following impairments is MOST likely contributing to this observation?

In a weightlifting program, which exercise would be MOST effective at strengthening the muscles responsible for posterior pelvic tilt?

A patient with chronic lower back pain is prescribed exercises to improve pelvic stability. Which exercise would be MOST appropriate for targeting the transverse abdominis muscle?

During a physical assessment, a patient exhibits difficulty maintaining balance while standing on one leg. Which muscle group is MOST likely impaired, leading to this instability?

A patient presents with a flattened lumbar spine and reports difficulty bending forward. Which pelvic motion is MOST likely limited in this patient?

A runner reports experiencing increased effort and reduced stride length. Which pelvic movement is MOST likely limited, contributing to these symptoms?

A patient is diagnosed with sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction. Which of the following ligament groups is MOST likely involved, contributing to the patient's symptoms?

During a gait analysis, a physical therapist observes that a patient has excessive hip adduction during stance phase, deviating from normal pelvic alignment. Which muscle group is MOST likely weak or inhibited, contributing to this gait pattern?
