In Pelvic Stabilization #17, what movement occurs?

• A. One leg lifts toward the ceiling as the other jumps. Control the lift without dumping into the hip or low back.
• B. Both legs stay on the ground while performing a hip hinge.
• C. The supporting leg remains stationary while the other leg performs a kick.
• D. The instructed cue is to maximize speed of the leg swing.

Answer: (C)

This item tests pelvic stability during leg movement. The aimed movement is that the supporting leg stays still while the other leg performs a kick. Keeping the standing leg stationary challenges the hips and core to prevent the pelvis from tilting or twisting, so the pelvis remains level as the kicking leg moves. This description fits because the focus is on maintaining neutral pelvis alignment while the moving leg executes a controlled kick, rather than lifting the leg high or bending both legs. The other options describe different patterns—lifting and jumping, a hip hinge with both feet on the ground, or pushing for speed of the leg swing—which don’t maintain that stationary-support stance or the same stabilization emphasis.
