Abstract Background/Objectives The purpose of this study is to observe effects of pelvic positions such as neutral, pelvic anterior tilting and pelvic posterior tilting position on strength of hip flexor. Methods/Statistical analysis This study included 30 normal adults, comprising 15 males and 15 females who have no operations or orthopedic, neurological diseases. Subjects performed 5 seconds of isometric hip flexion in each position for 3 times. One-way ANOVA was used to analyze the difference of individual data and Bonferroni correction was used for the Post-hoc. Findings There was a significant difference when comparing neutral position and anterior tilting position. Improvements/Applications In Conclusion, the result shows that the muscle length changes according to the pelvic tilting angle and it effects to muscle strength.
