Figure 9.

Pelvic rotation test. With arms crossed over the shoulders and feet shoulder-width apart, the patient rotates the lower body without any movement in the upper body. Look for any movement of the shoulders or excessive lateral motion of the pelvis versus rotation. Continue testing in both directions being sure to monitor the fluidity of motion of the pelvis in both the right direction and the left. A proper pelvic rotation test yields no motion above the waistline, with only the pelvis rotating.
