Hip abduction muscles worked can also include additional hip muscles. These include yourhip flexors, at the front of your hips, and your hip extensors. These are essentially your buttock muscles. Your core and some muscles in your legs are also strengthened by hip abduction exercises. What Are...
This study was designed to identify the effects of a visual feedback device for hip adduction on trunk muscles and sitting posture when working at a visual display terminal. The forward head and trunk flexion angles of 20 workers were analyzed using a motion analysis system, and the activities...
There may be too much hip adduction and internal rotation. Hip adduction refers to movement of the leg toward the body. Muscle weakness of the hip abductor muscles, hip extensors, and hip external rotators add to the problem. Hip abduction is moving the leg away from the body. With the ...
they become hyperactive when going into a bridge position and when the leg is extended, a position that is easy for the gluteals to support [12]. If the gluteals are inhibited, cramping will usually occur in the synergistic muscles. Weakness in the abdominals, hamstrings, and gluteals can...
andbladder. As the iliacus and psoas travel under theinguinal ligamentand insert into the lesser trochanter of the femur, there is also the femoral triangle, which needs to be worked around. Body positioning can be useful to help access these muscles in a less invasive way while protecting the...
Using surface electrodes, the EMG activities in the VMO and the VL muscles during ten repetitions of hip adduction and terminal knee extension exercises were recorded. The order of presentation of the experimental conditions was randomized. The three-way repeated ANOVA revealed no significant main ...
(internal rotation) had a deviation mean value of 4.96 ± 5.48 for the affected group compared with 0.43 ± 3.89 (p= 0.006) for the control group. The DDH-affected limb appeared to have significantly less hip adduction when walking compared with the limbs of the control group, and even ...
Independent of the mechanism of injury, THD may result from an impact against the victim’s flexed knee, with the force transferred to the flexed hip along the femoral shaft. Higher degrees of hip flexion and adduction at the time of trauma typically result in simple dislocations, whereas less...
The hip joint plays an important function in maintaining upright posture and balance. Recent studies [16,17] have suggested that individuals with CAI have weaker knee and hip muscles than those without CAI or those who have no ongoing problems. Hip strength in individuals with CAI has been show...
Objective: To examine the test−retest reliability of isokinetic ankle plantar and dorsiflexion, ankle inversion and eversion, knee extension and flexion and hip abduction and adduction strength in physically active adults using Biodex System 4 Pro. Methods: Peak torques (PTs) and average peak ...
