Clinical Measures of Pelvic Tilt in Physical Therapy
Pelvic tilt refers to the spatial position or motion of the pelvis about a frontal horizontal axis on the rest of the body in the sagittal plane. It is relevant for several musculoskeletal conditions commonly seen in physical therapist practice, particularly conditions affecting the hip and groin. D...
