“…15 When prescribing exercises to strengthen the hip abductors, the relative activation of all muscles should be considered. Activation of the 3 primary hip abductors has been reported by Selkowitz et al, 32 who evaluated 11 multiplanar exercises, and Sieve, 34 who studied 3 non-weight-bearing exercises. Although both studies concluded that the type of exercise (eg, step-up, squat, sidelying abduction) influences hip abductor activity, neither investigation provided informa-T T STUDY DESIGN: Within-subject, repeatedmeasures design.…”

“…23 Of the several studies that have investigated hip abductor recruitment during the performance of this exercise, 13,32,34 only DiStefano et al 13 addressed technique modification by evaluating the influence of hip angle on GMax and GMed activity. The study did not, however, evaluate the TFL.…”

“…Concentric strengthening exercises for the gluteus maximus and hamstrings should be a focus during this phase. Supine single leg bridging, dead lifts (double to single leg progression), and hamstring curls on a therapy ball have also been shown to promote good activation of the gluteus maximus and hamstrings [35,36]. Careful consideration should be taken when using open chain hip extension in prone to activate the hip extensors because of increased anterior hip forces (21).…”

Rehabilitation guidelines following hip arthroscopy have been presented in the literature with common themes consisting of initial protection, restoration of lumbo-pelvic stability, neuromuscular re-education, and return to sport training. The purpose of this review is to present hip arthroscopy guidelines in 4 phases and to address common pitfalls that may delay the rehabilitative process. The goal of phase 1 should be to protect healing tissues through activity modifications. Phase 2 intends to return the patient to pain-free community ambulation without compensation or irritation. A review of hip muscular actions during gait is presented to guide exercise progressions during this phase. Phase 3 should reestablish neuromuscular control through strength and endurance training to provide the foundation for return to functional activities or sports training progressions. The last phase of rehabilitation is dedicated to reestablishing power, speed, agility, and skill for advanced sports and advanced functions.

“…It has been investigated in 2 other fine-wire studies. 42,48 Selkowitz et al 42 reported activation of the middle GMed to be 26.7% ± 18.0% of MVIC with TheraBand (Performance Health, Akron, OH) resistance; at maximum resistance during an MVIC task, Semciw et al 48 found low (2%) and high (43%) activity of anterior and posterior segments, respectively. Together with the results from our study, this body of literature suggests that, regardless of the intensity level prescribed, the clam exercise would elicit negligible activity in the anterior and middle GMed and, at most, high activity in the posterior GMed during a maximum contraction.…”

Study Design Controlled laboratory study, cross-sectional. Background The gluteus medius (GMed) and gluteus minimus (GMin) provide dynamic stability of the hip joint and pelvis. These muscles are susceptible to atrophy and injury in individuals during menopause, aging, and disease. Numerous studies have reported on the ability of exercises to elicit high levels of GMed activity; however, few studies have differentiated between the portions of the GMed, and none have examined the GMin. Objectives To quantify and rank the level of muscle activity of the 2 segments of the GMin (anterior and posterior fibers) and 3 segments of the GMed (anterior, middle, and posterior fibers) during 4 isometric and 3 dynamic exercises in a group of healthy, postmenopausal women. Methods Intramuscular electrodes were inserted into each segment of the GMed and GMin in 10 healthy, postmenopausal women. Participants completed 7 gluteal rehabilitation exercises, and average normalized muscle activity was used to rank the exercises from highest to lowest. Results The isometric standing hip hitch with contralateral hip swing was the highest-ranked exercise for all muscle segments except the anterior GMin, where it was ranked second. The highest-ranked dynamic exercise for all muscle segments was the dip test. Conclusion The hip hitch and its variations maximally activate the GMed and GMin muscle segments, and may be useful in hip muscle rehabilitation in postmenopausal women.
