Pelvic tilt and stiffness of the muscles stabilising the lumbo-pelvic-hip (LPH) complex in tensiomyography examination.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The objective of the study was to initially validate the hypothesis about the relationship between the pelvic tilt angle in the saggital plane and the functional state of muscles stabilising the lumbo-pelvic-hip (LPH) complex expressed as a change in their stiffness in a tensiomyography examination.

Materials and methods

Forty five women aged 19-30 years took part in an observational (cross-sectional) study. The examination involved measurements using the tensiomyography method (TMG). The stiffness of muscles stabilising the LPH complex expressed as a maximal muscle displacement (Dm variable) was assessed and the relationship between muscle stiffness and the value of the pelvic tilt (PT) in the sagittal plane was determined.

Results

The analysis showed signifi
