In pilates, what are the two pelvic positions most often used to achieve

In neutral pelvic placement, the normal curve, slightly ____ anteriorly, of
the ____ spine is present. In most cases when supine, the triangle formed
by the ASIS and symphysis pubis should lie ___ to the mat. - CORRECT-
ANSWERSconvex, lumbar, parallel
Which pelvic position is the most stable and optimal shock-absorbing
position and a good place from which to promote efficient movement
patterns? - CORRECT-ANSWERSneutral pelvic placement
Neutral pelvic position is the most ___ and optimal ___-___ position and a
good place from which to promote ___ movement patterns. - CORRECT-
ANSWERSstable, shock-absorbing, efficient
Though two positions are most often used, Stott Pilates emphasizes ______
of the pelvis and lumbar spine in a variety of positions. - CORRECT-
ANSWERSstabilization
Describe neutral pelvic placement. - CORRECT-ANSWERSThe normal
curve, slightly convex anteriorly, of the lumbar spine is present. In most
cases when supine, the triangle formed by the ASIS and the symphysis
pubis should lie parallel to the mat.
When lying supine, if the pubic bone is lower than the ASIS, a(n) ___ pelvic
tilt results - CORRECT-ANSWERSanterior
When lying supine, if the pubic bone is higher than the ASIS, a(n) ____
pelvic tilt results. - CORRECT-ANSWERSposterior
Neutral alignment should not be achieved by forcibly ____ the back, but
rather by allowing the weight of the ___ to rest on the mat, resulting in a
natural ___ of the lumbar spine. - CORRECT-ANSWERSarching, sacrum,
lordosis
how should neutral pelvis not be achieved? how *should* it be achieved? -
CORRECT-ANSWERSIt should not be achieved by forcibly arching the back.
, It should be achieved by allowing the weight of the sacrum to rest on the
mat, resulting in a natural lordosis of the lumbar spine.
In pilates, while breathing and engaging the abdominals in neutral pelvic
position, no strain should be felt where? - CORRECT-ANSWERSthrough the
spinal extensors in the lumbar area
what should you do if you feel strain in the spinal extensors in the lumbar
area when in neutral pelvic position? - CORRECT-ANSWERSshift the pelvis
slightly toward an imprinted position
which is more important: for the abdominal wall to be engaged and the
lumbar area to be stable and unstrained OR for the ASIS and pubic
symphysis to lie in the same horizontal plane - CORRECT-ANSWERSfor the
abdominal wall to be engaged and the lumbar area to be stable and
unstrained
someone with large gluteal muscles might create an exaggerated _____ in
the ____ spine by trying to have the ASIS and pubic bone lie in the same
plane - CORRECT-ANSWERSlordosis, lumbar
what is more important than for the ASIS and pubic symphysis to lie in the
same horizontal plane? - CORRECT-ANSWERSit is more important for the
abdominal wall to be engaged and the lumbar area to be stable and
unstrained
more important than neutral pelvic placement, the abdominal wall should
have what quality and the lumbar area should have what qualities? -
CORRECT-ANSWERSabdominal wall - engaged. lumbar area - stable and
unstrained
what might happen if someone with large gluteal muscles tries to have
the ASIS and pubic bone lie in the same plane while supine? - CORRECT-
ANSWERSthey might actually create an exaggerated lordosis in the
lumbar spine
imprinted placement refers to a slight ___ pelvic tilt with slight ___ flexion -
CORRECT-ANSWERSposterior, lumbar
describe imprinted position - CORRECT-ANSWERSimprinted position refers
to a slight posterior pelvic tilt with slight lumbar flexion. The normal curve
of the lumbar spine lengthens toward flexion by engaging the oblique
abdominals to approximate the pelvis toward the rib cage anteriorly.
imprinted placement refers to a slight ____ pelvic tilt with slight lumbar
____. The normal curve of the lumbar spine _____ toward flexion by
engaging the _____ _____ to approximate the ____ toward the rib cage
anteriorly. - CORRECT-ANSWERSposterior, flexion. lengthens. oblique
abdominals. pelvis.
