Abstract
Introduction: Training interventions designed to reduce anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury risk often aim to improve dynamic “core” and hip muscle function to correct trunk kinematics associated with ACL injury. While it is reported that the pelvis can provide proximal stability to allow for efficient lower-limb movement, it is not clear how the pelvis functions during sidestepping and its influence on trunk positioning. Comparisons of PSS and UPSS may give insight into the role of the pelvis in relation to upper body position. The purpose of the current study was to compare pelvis obliquity and trunk lateral flexion angles between planned (PSS) and unplanned (UPSS) sidestepping.
