Question 7

Pelvic Motion

Answer 7

Pelvic tilt - sagital
Pelvic obliquity - coronal

Question 8

Components of pelvic motion

Answer 8

Hip flexion - sagittal plane
Pelvic rotation - transverse plane : lessened hip extension/flexion
Swing phase knee flexion - sagittal plane : drop of pelvis on swing side
Stance phase knee flexion - sagittal plane : drop of pelvis on stance side
Medial Lateral sway - transverse plane : pelvis displacement
