Anterior Pelvic Tilt Does NOT Cause Hip Internal Rotation

Anterior pelvic tilt is probably the most common postural “deviation” you seen as a physical therapist. But not all anterior pelvic tilt is the same. If you read research studies (which I do), you’ll find conflicting accounts of what’s happening at the hip. Some say that anterior pelvic tilt is associated with hip internal rotation. And this makes sense if we consider that anterior pelvic tilt is closed chain hip flexion… and some of us (cough cough) know that flexion requires posterior gliding of the femur (leg) backwards in the acetabulum (hip socket). But other studies suggest that anterior pelvic tilt is actually associated with hip external rotation. And this makes sense too, when we consider that if the ball and socket both move forward directly (translatory motion) in space, that the leg will get twisted out to the side of the socket, producing external rotation of the hip. Saying that anterior pelvic tilt is associated with one of these or the other simply illustrates a lack of understanding and clinical experience. If you’ve practiced long enough, you’ll realize it can be either one!! So while it isn’t inaccurate to say that 75% of people have APT, it’s very inaccurate to say that this causes internal rotation of the hip without offering a caveat about the exact amount being unknown. When people have the wrong information, they often make the wrong choices towards helping improve their movement. This is why accuracy matters. Unfortunately in today’s day and age, many are willing to overlook accuracy and their responsibility as a healthcare professional in order to create content and drive sales… Or maybe that’s just for those who talk about rehab that aren’t healthcare providers. I’m not sure. This is why it’s really important to vet your sources when it comes to learning biomechanics. #biomechanics #personaltrainer #physicaltherapist #posture #mobility #anteriorpelvictilt
