Is pelvic drop the same as hip drop?

Yes. Pelvic drop, hip drop, and Trendelenburg sign all describe the same visible pattern: the unsupported hip dipping below the stance-side hip during each stride.

Can I fix pelvic drop by consciously holding my hips level?

Consciously bracing while running is not a durable fix and tends to create other compensations. Glute medius strengthening addresses the underlying weakness and creates lasting pattern change.
