Does Pelvic Tilt Angle Influence the Isokinetic Strength of the Hip and Knee Flexors and Extensors?

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of pelvic tilt angle on maximum hip and knee muscles' strength and antagonist/agonist strength ratios. Twenty-one young males and females performed maximum isokinetic concentric knee extension-flexion and hip extension-flexion efforts at 60°·s, 120°·s, and 180°·s from three positions: anterior, neutral, and posterior pelvic tilt. Peak torques and knee flexor-to-extensor and hip flexor-to-extensor torque ratios were analyzed.
