Abstract
The overall movement of the trunk is made up of two components, namely the movements of the pelvic girdle and the vertebrae. In the frontal plane, the amplitude of the pelvic movements appears to be relatively limited compared to the vertebral column whereas the pelvis makes the major contribution to the total rotational movement in the axial plane.
