However, there are some commonly - used movement tests using categorical measurements that are much less well - defined, such as
for knee valgus or lumbar rounding during the back squat.
Generally speaking, lifters who squat narrow keep their feet pointed forward and lifters who squat with a wider stance tend to flare their feet slightly, thereby allowing
for a greater hip involvement and reducing the risk of
knee valgus.
For example, tests are used for identifying the presence of knee valgus during drop landings (Nyman & Armstrong, 2015), knee valgus during the barbell back squat (Kushner et al. 2015; Snarr & McGinn, 2015), or lumbar rounding during the barbell back squat (Kushner et al. 2015; Snarr & McGinn, 201

The gluteus medius is commonly a target of rehabilitation, hypertrophy and strengthening
for a number of different musculoskeletal conditions, including lateral hip pain, hip osteoarthritis, hip replacement,
knee valgus, patellofemoral pain, low back pain, and iliotibial band syndrome.
