AI synopsis

What people are saying

The overall discussion reflects strong agreement with the article, as users frequently mention the variability in pelvic anatomy and its effect on measurement reliability, using words like 'unreliable,' 'variance,' and 'no agreement.' The tone is clinical yet critical, with some posts expressing frustration about current assessment methods and their limitations, indicating that the article challenges traditional practices with substantial implications.

AgreementStrong agreement

Most discussions emphasize the unreliability of assessing anterior pelvic tilt due to anatomical variability, strongly supporting the publication's findings.

InterestModerate interest

Participants show moderate interest, often referencing clinical implications and reliability issues, but some brief mentions suggest lower engagement.

EngagementModerate engagement

The comments include specific critiques and calls for better understanding of pelvic anatomy, indicating a moderate level of thoughtful engagement.

ImpactHigh impact

The discussions highlight significant concerns about clinical assessments and measurement validity, suggesting high impact on practice awareness.

Abstract in brief

  • Variations in pelvic shape can affect how we measure anterior pelvic tilt using the angle between the ASIS and PSIS, as these anatomical differences might skew the results.
  • The study, which examined 30 cadaver pelves, found significant differences in tilt angles and landmark heights, indicating that individual pelvic morphology impacts measurements.
  • Overall, these findings suggest that anatomical differences in pelvis shape and structure should be considered when assessing pelvic tilt and asymmetry, as they can lead to variability in measurement accuracy.]

Just the annual reminder that anatomical landmarks vary between people This tells us nothing more than that Variation in pelvic morphology may prevent the identification of anterior pelvic tilt https://t.co/Lm4CQIvH1T https://t.co/JGHQJGHtDo

But yet again these tests lack any accuracy or reliability to assess anterior pelvic tilt due to wide anatomical variations of these bony landmarks from person to person! https://t.co/L1vQNRIp4d

@roguepanda23 @Conor_Harris_ @kinesigen Actually the evidence says all therapists cant reliably assess degrees pelvic tilt Christian https://t.co/L1vQNRZZVL And I do think the words fascia and biotensegrity are said by ignorant therapists who lack full understanding of the complexity of pain and pathology!

The other issue with APT is there is no agreement on what is too much or too little! And there is also no reliability in our clinical ability to assess who does or doesn’t have it! https://t.co/L1vQNRIp4d https://t.co/az1sJWMn1R

Also therapists are really really bad at assessing who has more or less anterior pelvic tilt due to the high variability in the pelvic bony landmarks often used… https://t.co/L1vQNRIWTL

@lizbayleyphysio @Jordan_theCoach First, assessing and measuring pelvic anterior tilt is really unreliable due to high variation in positions of landmarks https://t.co/L1vQNRIp4d

Then for assessing for anterior pelvic tilt… well, there’s a lot of variation in the anatomy of the pelvis between individuals and groups. So this isn’t a very reliable method. https://t.co/iagiOsQ0wy
