A visual comparison between a neutral and anterior pelvic tilt and how it can affect height. Pelvic tilt is the orientation of the pelvis in respect to the thighbones and the rest of the body.

[citation needed] Strengthening the gluteal complex is a commonly accepted practice to reverse excessive lumbar lordosis, as an increase in gluteal muscle tone assists in the reduction of excessive anterior pelvic tilt and lumbar hyperlordosis. [21]
The Trendelenburg position may be used for drainage images during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. [10] The Trendelenburg position is reasonable in those with a cord prolapse who are unable to achieve a knee-to-chest position.

A patient with high grade spondylolisthesis may present with a posterior pelvic tilt, causing a loss in the normal contour of the buttocks.

This position provides a definition of what is at the front ("anterior"), behind ("posterior") and so on. As part of defining and describing terms, the body is described through the use of anatomical planes and anatomical axes. The meaning of terms that are used can change depending on whether an organism is bipedal or quadrupedal.
