When an anterior pelvic tilt is determined, which muscles are suspected to be tight?
- Hip Flexors and Erector Spinae
- Rectus Abdominus and Hamstrings
- Gluteus Maximus and Gluteus Medius
- Quadriceps and Anterior Tibialis - Correct Answer - A - Generally,
the muscles supporting the occurring action, or the shortened muscles, are tight. When an anterior pelvic tilt occurs, it is usually the result of shortened, tight hip flexors and/or erector spinae, causing lordosis in the lumbar spine
