The lumbrosacral angle on inclination is _____ degrees when the pelvis is in neutral rotation.
What is 30 degrees?
300
The posterior projection of the iliac crest, which serves as an attachment for the posterior sacroiliac ligament and is a bony landmark used to determine if the pelvis is level, rotated or laterally tilted.
What is the Posterior superior iliac spine (PSIS)?
300
These bones in the posterior column form the articulation between the lumbar spine and sacrum.
What is inferior articular process of L5 with the superior articular process of S1?
300

What is a co-contraction of the hamstrings and rectus abdominis with the equal and opposite contraction of the rectus femoris and lumbar erector spinae?
300
The effect of a left lateral pelvic tilt on the alignment of the left and right hip joints.
What is left hip abduction and right hip adduction?
300
An eccentric contraction in the left quadratus lumborum means that the pelvis is likely performing this lateral pelvic tilt.

Your patient has an apparent leg length discrepancy. You would conduct these observations or measures if you wanted to isolate the cause of this potential leg length discrepancy.
What is pelvic alignment testing or measurement of each leg to determine if there is a length difference?
500
The alignment of your pelvic bony landmarks if you are anteriorly rotated on the right pelvis with regard to the alignment of your ASIS and your sacrum.
What is the right ASIS will be lower than the left ASIS and your sacrum will be rotated to the left?
