Table 2 Mean angle (standard deviation) of whole pelvis and relative pelvis orientation in upright standing for each heel-lift height

  1. Estimates in degrees. Standard deviation in parentheses All values are reported as degrees. Statistically significant main effects of heel-lift height (p < 0.05) are denoted by italicized font. Interpretation of polarity with reference to 0 mm condition: x-axis: values below zero = towards left rotation, values above 0 = towards right rotation; z-axis: values below 0 = towards posterior tilt, values above zero = towards anterior tilt; y-axis: values below 0 = towards left axial rotation, values above 0 = towards right axial rotation
