Control of the frontal plane is absolutely necessary to stabilize the pelvis. You first start sagittally with hamstrings and obliques and then you need to re-learn to shift from side to side during gait. Shifting from side-to-side is a frontal plane activity that requires abduction and adduction of the femurs.
In the left AIC pattern, our left leg "likes" to abduct and our right leg "likes" to adduct. But these "likes" are obligatory compensations for the position of the left AIC or PEC pelvis above it.
Once neutral, you then need to re-learn how to abduct and adduct using glutes and adductors through purposeful action (non obligatory compensation).
