The purpose of this study is to observe effects of pelvic positions such as neutral, pelvic anterior tilting and pelvic posterior tilting position on strength of hip flexor.
This study included 30 normal adults, comprising 15 males and 15 females who have no operations or orthopedic, neurological diseases. Subjects performed 5 seconds of isometric hip flexion in each position for 3 times. One-way ANOVA was used to analyze the difference of individual data and Bonferroni correction was used for the Post-hoc.
There was a significant difference when comparing neutral position and anterior tilting position.
In Conclusion, the result shows that the muscle length changes according to the pelvic tilting angle and it effects to muscle strength.
