Pelvic tilt test

The pelvic tilt test draws a straight line between the anterior superior iliac spine and the posterior superior iliac spine. The straight line is attached to the straight line and the patient is bent over to check whether the pelvic tilt is obvious. The lumbosacral joint lesion can be diagnosed. The patient stands sideways, first draws a straight line between the anterior superior iliac spine and the posterior superior iliac spine. The straight line is attached to the straight line and the patient is bent over. If the straight ruler is not inclined or slightly inclined, the patient uses the curvature of the lumbar vertebrae. Reduce the movement of the lumbosacral joint; conversely, if the lumbar spine remains straight and the pelvis tilts significantly, the bending center is at the hip joint.
