Hello Mr. Grover,
Sorry for not being able to post a message. Got to see ur post today... i dont have much experience in this field... but i think pelvic support is as important bcoz, the integrtity of the pelvic girlde has to be maintained, preventing any potential rotations, uplifts or down lifts of the pelvic components... during climbing up n down the trees.
thats what i think...
have fun.... right now, i am too working for a project in which we good into the woods... do calculations... it has been fun.. but ur work seems to be more fun!
good luck
Bye
