Which is an indication of an anterior tilt in the pelvis?

• A. Neutral pelvis with straight spine
• B. Hip position, restricted torso rotation and tilted spine angle
• C. Posterior tilting indicators
• D. Increased lumbar lordosis with neutral pelvis

Answer: (B)

An anterior tilt shows the pelvis tipping forward, which shifts how the hip and spine align and changes the feel of the torso during movement. When the pelvis tilts forward, the hip position tends to move into a forward stance, the upper body work becomes harder to rotate because the pelvis fixes the trunk in a forward-tilted orientation, and the spine appears more curved forward due to increased lumbar lordosis. So seeing a forward-tilted hip position, restricted ability to rotate the torso, and a tilted spine angle fits the pattern of an anterior pelvic tilt. In contrast, a neutral pelvis with a straight spine suggests no tilt, posterior-tilting indicators point to a backward tilt, and increased lumbar lordosis with a neutral pelvis would be inconsistent with the pelvis actually tilting forward.
