The pelvic girdle is a bony structure located at the base of the spine, connecting the trunk to the lower limbs. It consists of two hip bones, also known as the coxal bones, which are joined at the front by the pubic symphysis and at the back by the sacrum. This structure supports the weight of the upper body when sitting and standing. In addition to providing support, the pelvic girdle plays a crucial role in movement and stability. It serves as an attachment point for various muscles and ligaments, facilitating activities such as walking, running, and jumping. The pelvic girdle also protects vital organs located in the pelvic cavity, including the bladder and reproductive organs.
