Abstract
- Highlights: [•] Excessive pelvic tilt ROM is associated with increased knee flexion at initial contact but reduced knee ROM. [•] Clinically, mainly increased proximal spasticity as tested by Tardieu is associated with increased pelvic tilt ROM. [•] In contrast, mean pelvic tilt is mainly associated with strength imbalance between knee extensors to flexors. [•] Mean pelvic tilt in gait is associated with reduced hip extension and increased pelvic obliquity ROM and trunk obliquity ROM. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
