Background: The gluteus medius (GMed) and gluteus minimus (GMin) muscle segments
demonstrate different responses to pathology and ageing, hence it is important in …

Running is a popular sport and recreational physical activity worldwide. Musculoskeletal
injuries in runners are common and may be attributed to the inability to control pelvic …

The anatomy of the hip abductors has not been comprehensively examined, yet is important
to understanding function and pathology in the gluteal region. For example, pathology of the …

Previous electromyographic (EMG) studies of gluteus medius (GMed) have not accurately
quantified the function of the three proposed structurally and functionally unique segments …

Gluteus minimus is believed to consist of two structurally and functionally unique segments
(anterior and posterior); however there is a lack of electromyography (EMG) research that …

The effect of greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS) on gluteus medius (GMed) and
minimus (GMin) activation in post-menopausal women is unknown. The aim of this study …

The gluteal muscles act as stabilizers of the hip joint and are important for the maintenance
of hip function. Atrophy and weakness of the gluteal muscles have been identified in people …

The external hip adduction moment during walking is greater in individuals with gluteal
tendinopathy (GT) than pain‐free controls. Although this likely represents a greater demand …

BACKGROUND: Hip osteoarthritis (OA) is a major cause of morbidity. Rehabilitation for this
population focuses on strengthening the hip muscles, particularly the abductors, however …

Electromyographic (EMG) studies into gluteus medius (GMed) typically involve surface EMG
electrodes. Previous comparisons of surface and fine wire electrode recordings in other …
