All about why you need to focus on hip abductor exercises for better running, lower injury risk, and more power through every step.
These muscles are known as the abductors because they function to pull the lower leg away from the body – a motion that is called abduction. These muscles can be torn where they attach to the greater trochanter causing pain and and weakness as well as a snapping sensation. Where friction ...
CONCLUSIONS: Hip abductors exercise training combined with repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation can enhance abduction muscle strength, improve mobility, reduce joint pain, and enhance quality of life. This combined approach shows superior clinical effectiveness compared to oral celecoxib.Cheng, ...

Reduced strength of the hip abductors and external rotators can lead to lower extremity malalignment and increased stress on the PFJ.8,9 Thus, it is assumed that the reduction in PFP following hip muscle strengthening exercise programs is directly related to the improvement of biomechanical changes...
Primary hip abductors A. Gluteus medius - when standing on one foot, this muscle contracts on that side to keep the pelvis from tilting to the unsupported side. Alternate contraction of these muscles occurs in walking. Paralysis of this muscle on one side results in the “gluteus medius limp...
