Table 3.

Theoretical values for positional pelvis and spinal parameters related to pelvis incidence

PI class PI (°) PTth (°) LLth (°)
I < 38 4 PI + 18
II 38-47 8 PI + 13
III 48-57 12 PI + 9
IV 58-67 16 PI + 6
V 68-77 20 PI + 2
VI > 78 24 PI - 5

PT: Pelvis tilt; LL: Lumbar lordosis; PTth: Theoretical PT; LLth: Theoretical LL. As examples, for PI measured to 40°, expected PT should be 8° and LL should be 53°; for PI measured to 52°, expected PT should be 12° and LL should be 61°; and for PI measured to 64°, expected PT should be 16° and LL should be 70°.
