What is the function of lumbopelvic rhythm? To what is this analogous?

What will be an ideal response?


ANS: Lumbopelvic rhythm is analogous to scapulohumeral rhythm, with its goal being to increase the
available range of motion. Just as the scapula and humerus move together to increase the range
available to the upper extremity, the pelvis and lumbar spine move in the same direction to
increase the range available to the lower extremities or upper body. If the upper body is to be
brought forward, as in leaning over to touch one's toes, the pelvis anteriorly tilts on the femurs (hip
flexion), and the lumbar spine flexes simultaneously.
