When determining pelvic position,which of the following would be the measurement between the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS)and the posterior superior iliac spine (PSIS)if the patient had anterior pelvic tilt?
A) Less than a 10° angle between the ASIS and PSIS relative to horizontal
B) More than an 8° angle between the ASIS and PSIS relative to horizontal
C) More than a 10° angle between the ASIS and PSIS relative to horizontal
D) Less than an 8° angle between the ASIS and PSIS relative to horizontal

Anterior pelvic tilt is characterized by a forward tilting of the pelvis, which results in a greater than 10° angle between the ASIS and PSIS relative to horizontal. Therefore, choice C is the correct answer. Choices A, B, and D are not correct because they do not accurately reflect the increased angle associated with anterior pelvic tilt.
