Is this all connected ?
I have a question regarding postural assessment that I’d like to confirm
When assessing the hip from the side, if the iliac crest is vertically aligned with the greater trochanter (GT), I understand this as a neutral hip position. If the iliac crest is positioned anterior to the GT, I understand this as a flexed hip.
My doubt is: if the iliac crest is anterior to the GT, does this naturally mean that the ASIS will also appear more anterior/lower, indicating an anterior pelvic tilt? Or should hip flexion and pelvic tilt always be assessed separately using the iliac crest–GT relationship and ASIS–PSIS relationship respectively?
For example, if the right iliac crest is anterior to the right GT and the right ASIS is lower/anterior relative to the PSIS, would it be correct to document right hip flexion + right anterior pelvic tilt, or would one finding influence the interpretation of the other?
I want to make sure Im interpreting the landmarks correctly for my postural assessment for exam
