Pelvic Joints
Pelvic joints are the connections between the bones of the pelvis, which include the ilium, ischium, and pubis. These joints play a crucial role in supporting the weight of the upper body while standing and during movement. The main pelvic joints are the sacroiliac joints, which connect the pelvis to the spine, and the pubic symphysis, located at the front of the pelvis.
The pelvic joints allow for limited movement, providing stability and flexibility during activities like walking, running, and bending. They also help absorb shock and distribute forces throughout the body, making them essential for overall mobility and balance.
