What is the self-test for pelvic tilt

Pelvic tilt self-testing methods mainly include the observation method and the standing reaching fist method. Usually the more serious pelvic tilt can show obvious symptoms such as long and short legs, which can be observed intuitively without self-measurement. For non-obvious pelvic tilt, you can measure yourself with the following methods. 1. Anterior pelvic tilt: stand naturally against a wall with your shoulders, heels and hips pressed against the wall, if the gap in the lumbar arch is large and you can insert your fisted hand into the gap at will, there is a possibility of anterior pelvic tilt. This type is mostly seen in pregnant women, hunchback with chest, long-term head tilted forward crowd. 2. Posterior pelvic tilt: For those who can take off their clothes and wear light underwear to stand naturally in front of a mirror, the abdomen will first protrude forward while the pubic symphysis will be downward when the pelvis is in motion. Therefore, posterior tilt is easier to recognize than anterior tilt. However, self-testing lacks sensitivity and specificity and is prone to bias. In order to better understand the condition of the pelvis, it is recommended to go to a standardized medical institution for testing.
