Comparing hamstring strain injury prevention and
rehabilitation exercises, Orishimo & McHugh (2015) found that the supine sliding leg curl (Slider) produced greater gluteus
maximus EMG amplitude
during the eccentric phase than the standing elastic - band resisted hip extension, the standing trunk flexion (Glider) or the standing split (Diver).
Although many
rehabilitation professionals have championed the use of unstable surfaces to enhance the recruitment of muscles
during certain lower body exercises, the gluteus
maximus is likely not recruited to a greater extent following the introduction of instability.
In this respect, many of the exercises focus on the gluteus
maximus EMG amplitude
during hip abduction and external rotation (Macadam et al. 2015), as these are the movements that are often of most interest
during rehabilitation.
