Q

what does nutation mean?

A

nodding (as in anterior pelvic tilt)

occurs in sagittal plane

The sacrum moves forward, down, and rotates to the opposite side of the body. This happens when the sacrum absorbs shock.

Q

What does counternutation mean?

A

moves posteriorly (as in PPT)

occurs in sagittal plane

The sacrum moves backward, up, and rotates to the same side of the body that absorbed the force. The ilium rotates in the opposite direction
