Background: The usage of computers is rising in every field work, mainly IT professionals where a professional sit computer for long period time. This increases the prevalence musculoskeletal disorders, like low back pain and neck pain. Continues sitting time can cause tightness piriformis muscle lead to syndrome it also affect other hip muscles become weak, ultimately Weak Gluteus Medius was f...

The case is presented of a 68-year-old man with calcifying tendonitis involving the lateral part of the gluteus medius. The presenting symptoms were chronic pain in the posterolateral region of the right hip and limitation of movement of the right hip. The patient was treated with acupuncture and small needle scalpel therapy. Three months after the procedure the patient was completely pain-free...

PURPOSE The purpose of this cadaveric study was to assess the relation between age and microvascular supply of 3 areas of the gluteus medius tendon using a previously validated CD31 immunohistochemistry staining technique. METHODS Twenty-four fresh-frozen gluteus medius specimens were obtained through a posterolateral approach to the hip. Specimens aged 18 years or older, of either sex, and o...

Superior gluteal nerve emerges through the greater sciatic foramen above the piriformis muscle. The nerve curves upwards and forwards between the gluteus medius and minimus muscles, supplies both of them and ends by supplying the tensor fasciae latae muscle, from its deep surface. During hip surgeries, this nerve often gets injured resulting in complications. An exact knowledge of its course is...

PURPOSE To compare the outcome of open versus endoscopic gluteal tendon repair. METHODS An extensive review of PubMed was conducted by 2 independent reviewers for articles containing at least 1 of the following search terms: gluteus medius, gluteus medius tear, gluteus medius tendinopathy, gluteus medius repair, hip abductors, hip abductor tears, hip abductor repair, hip rotator cuff, hip rot...

The hypothesis that the pattern of muscle activation during a static voluntary effort exerted in different directions is oriented in the direction of the muscle's mechanical action was evaluated. The electromyographical (EMG) activation patterns of five hip muscles (gluteus medius, rectus femoris, tensor fasciae latae, gracilis and semitendinosus) and one knee muscle (vastus lateralis) were cha...
