The Effect of a Vertical Load on Gluteus Medius Activity and Gait Characteristics during Walking
[Purpose] The present study examined the activity and the gait characteristics of the gluteus medius and the trunk stability muscles during the stance phase of gait on level ground when a vertical load corresponding to 0%, 1%, or 2% of body weight was placed on the lower extremities during the swing phase of the gait. [Methods] The subjects were 40 young males aged between 21 and 30 years. The ...
متن کاملMuscle Activity of the Gluteus Medius at Different Gait Speeds
[Purpose] The present study aimed to determine the changes in the muscle activities of the gluteus medius, latissimus dorsi, and gluteus maximus at different gait speeds, to collect basic data for the study of the gluteus medius. [Subjects and Methods] The subjects were 18 young and healthy male adults whose mean age, height, and weight were 26.4 years, 173.37 cm, and 72.5 kg, respectively. Ele...
متن کاملEffective exercises for targeting the gluteus medius.
CLINICAL SCENARIO The gluteus medius (GM) is thought to play an important role in stabilizing the pelvis and controlling femoral adduction and internal rotation during functional activity. GM weakness, resulting in decreased stabilization and control, has been suggested to be related to lower extremity dysfunction and injury. Many clinicians focus on strengthening the GM to improve lower extrem...
متن کاملPreoperative gluteus medius muscle atrophy as a predictor of walking ability after total hip arthroplasty.
PURPOSE To elucidate the relation between certain preoperative physical parameters and walking with a limp after total hip arthroplasty (THA) and determine whether it is possible to predict the walking ability of patients 6 months after THA. METHODS The subjects of this study comprised 74 female patients who had undergone unilateral THA. Before surgery, the hip abductor and knee extensor stre...
