In addition, frontal plane hip–transverse plane hip coordination patterns illustrate coupled hip motions during

Interest in intersegmental coordination during locomotion (eg, between the low back and pelvis or between foot segments) has continued to increase. 1 – 6 Investigating intersegmental coordination of different types of locomotor movements can provide more insight into the processes used by the

Trunk flexion and extension motion are achieved through the coordinated rotation of the pelvis and lumbar spine, with both segments working together but contributing to the movement at different phases. 1 The coordination of the lumbar spine and pelvis (lumbopelvic rhythm) when flexing and

alter hip and pelvis kinematics during running, 12 , 17 , 18 possibly even increasing hip adduction range of motion. 16 Thus, decreased pain after rehabilitation does not appear to be a result of changing hip kinematics during running. To better understand these findings, some studies have attempted

The purpose of this study was to better understand how lower body kinematics relate to peak glenohumeral compressive force and develop a regression model accounting for variability in peak glenohumeral compressive force. Data were collected for 34 pitchers. Average peak glenohumeral compressive force was 1.72% ± 33% body weight (1334.9 N ± 257.5). Correlation coefficients revealed 5 kinematic variables correlated to peak glenohumeral compressive force (P < .01, α = .025). Regression models indicated 78.5% of the variance in peak glenohumeral compressive force (R2 = .785, P < .01) was explained by stride length, lateral pelvis flexion at maximum external rotation, and axial pelvis rotation velocity at release. These results indicate peak glenohumeral compressive force increases with a combination of decreased stride length, increased pelvic tilt at maximum external rotation toward the throwing arm side, and increased pelvis axial rotation velocity at release. Thus, it may be possible to decrease peak glenohumeral compressive force by optimizing the movements of the lower body while pitching. Focus should be on both training and conditioning the lower extremity in an effort to increase stride length, increase pelvis tilt toward the glove hand side at maximum external rotation, and decrease pelvis axial rotation at release.

Motion of the femur and pelvis during hip flexion has been examined previously, but principally in the sagittal plane and during nonfunctional activities. In this study we examined femoral elevation in the sagittal plane and pelvic rotation in the sagittal and frontal planes while subjects flexed their hips to ascend single steps. Fourteen subjects ascended single steps of 4 different heights leading with each lower limb. Motion of the lead femur and pelvis during the flexion phase of step ascent was tracked using an infrared motion capture system. Depending on step height and lead limb, step ascent involved elevation of the femur (mean 47.2° to 89.6°) and rotation of the pelvis in both the sagittal plane (tilting: mean 2.6° to 9.7°) and frontal plane (listing: mean 4.2° to 11.9°). Along with maximum femoral elevation, maximum pelvic rotation increased significantly (p < .001) with step height. Femoral elevation and pelvic rotation during the flexion phase of step ascent were synergistic (r = .852–.999). Practitioners should consider pelvic rotation in addition to femoral motion when observing individuals’ ascent of steps.
