Not exact matches

Recent research on hip strengthening exercises has shown a direct link between hip weakness and these three muscles — the gluteus medius, the gluteus maximus, and the tensor fascia lata (TFL).

Excessive knee valgus has been linked to gluteus medius weakness, by way of reduced hip abduction strength (Jacobs et al. 2007; see review by Cashman, 2012).

However, when comparing individuals with and without low back pain, it has been noted that there is hip abduction weakness in those with pre-existing low back pain compared to healthy controls and that this is accompanied by greater gluteus medius co-activation during single leg stance.

Gluteus medius weakness, by reference to low hip abduction strength, has been linked to patellofemoral pain in cross-sectional case - control studies (Ireland et al. 2003; Prins et al. 2009; Souza and Powers, 2009; Lankhorst et al. 2012).

These findings indicate that addressing gluteus medius weakness may well have some benefit for patellofemoral pain.

Hip osteoarthritis has been associated with reduced hip abduction strength, which is indicative of gluteus medius weakness (Arokoski et al. 2002; Rasch et al. 2007; Suetta et al. 2007) as well as with compensatory increased gluteus medius muscle activity (Sims et al. 2002; Dwyer et al. 2013).

Some researchers have suggested that gluteus medius weakness, leading to overactivity, might be implicated in the development of low back pain.
