which allows the moving leg to optimize its movements while the pelvis remains stable35. However, an optimal functional status of both muscles, and not only the abductors, enables more efficient lower-limb patterns, which may
We concluded that stronger hip abductors and adductors (both paretic and nonparetic legs) resulted in quicker voluntary step, and faster walking speed and cadence. Also, stronger paretic hip abductors were associated with a faster completion of the timed up and go test, higher ambulation ability,...
Hip abductor strength and activation are essential for maintaining postural balance during transfers and are related to joint loading and progression during weight-bearing activities. Strength deficits in the hip abductors might cause a reduction in the lower extremity force generation, thereby causing ...
Do hip abductors work inner thighs? Yes,the seated inner thigh machines do work; however, not for the reasons that most people think. Most individuals use the inner thigh machines to try and target hip adductor muscles in an attempt to burn fat on the inner thigh region. What gym equipment...
The ligaments of the hip joint are overlaid by several large muscles, which can be broadly divided into flexors, extensors, abductors, adductors, and external and internal rotators. The main hip flexors are the iliopsoas, sartorius, and rectus femoris. Pectineus, the adductors, and glutei ...
The hip adductors a.k.a. inner thigh muscles help keep your lower body stable and your stride powerful. Here, five hip adductor exercises for better running.
A study wasconductedof 68 high school cross-country runners (47 girls, 21 boys) in whichisometricstrength tests of the hip abductors, knee extensors and flexors were performed with a handheld dynamometer. Runners were prospectively followed during the 2014 interscholastic cross-country season for oc...
Primary outcome variables were concentric, eccentric, and isometric peak torque of the hip abductors and adductors at 30 degrees/s, and a concentric endurance quotient at the same angle velocity. Differences in muscle strength of the hip abductors between healthy (CO) and injured runners (ITBS) ...

Its primary role is to provide dynamic stability during weight-bearing activities like walking and jogging. Approximately twenty-five muscles attach to the hip. They can be divided up by their primary action: flexors, extensors, abductors, adductors, external rotators and internal rotators. (...
