In a front view postural analysis, evaluating the pelvis is crucial for determining pelvic tilt and rotation. The alignment of the pelvis can reveal whether it is in a neutral position or tilted forward (anterior tilt) or backward (posterior tilt). Additionally, the rotation of the pelvis can indicate asymmetries in the body, such as whether one side is more forward or backward than the other. This information is valuable because the pelvis plays a central role in overall alignment and stability, influencing other areas of the body, including the lumbar spine and ribcage, but primarily, it directly reflects the pelvic positioning itself. Recognizing these details regarding pelvic orientation helps assess how they contribute to overall postural alignment and movement quality.
