True or False: A tilted hip position causes a restricted torso rotation toward the lower hip.

True or False: A tilted hip position causes a restricted torso rotation toward the lower hip.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not affected
• D. Increases rotation

Answer: (B)

Pelvis and spine mobility determine how the torso rotates. A tilted hip changes the starting orientation of the pelvis and trunk, but it does not inherently lock or restrict rotation toward the lower hip. Real restrictions come from the available hip internal/external rotation and thoracic spine rotation, not simply from having one hip lower. So, tilt may alter feel or alignment, but it does not automatically cause a restriction toward the lower hip.
