The pelvic girdle function as an integrated unit with all three bones moving at all three joints, are influenced by the lower extremities below and vertebral column and trunk above sacroiliac movements are caused by spinal motion, whereas iliosacral movements are caused by movements of the lower limbs. Concept of normal functional integration among the lumbar spine, pelvic and hip joint is basic to the understanding of dysfunction in this region and also functional movement of the lumbo-pelvic-hip region are part of the clinical examination, consequently the integrated biomechanics of these region need to be understood. The purpose of this review is to ascertain the integrated biomechanics among the lumbo-pelvic-hip complex by consideration of literature and to give sufficient information to be able to render accurate assessment and treatment for the syndromes described.
