According to the normal sequence for testing, what is assessed first in Pelvic Tilt?

The normal sequence for testing pelvic tilt begins with assessing the anterior tilt. This is primarily because understanding the anterior tilt is crucial for grasping the overall range of motion and functional capacity of the pelvis in relation to the spine and lower body mechanics. Anterior tilt refers to the forward rotation of the pelvis, which can have various implications for posture and movement efficiency. By starting with this position, practitioners can identify any dysfunctions or imbalances that may affect an individual's swing mechanics or overall performance.

This initial assessment forms a basis for evaluating how the pelvis moves through its range of motions, thus providing insights into any compensations or restrictions that may need to be addressed in subsequent assessments. Following the anterior tilt assessment, practitioners can then examine neutral and posterior tilt positions, as well as explore lateral movements such as side bending. Understanding the full range of pelvic motion is critical for effective training and rehabilitation programs.
