Tears in these muscles are however relatively rare compared to thigh and groin strains. Pain over the side of the hip that develops more gradually is most commonly related to the health of the soft tissues at the anchor-point for the gluteus medius and minimus on the femur (the greater ...
Background: The hip abductors (HAB), quadriceps (Q) and hamstrings (H) reciprocal strength ratios are predictors of electromyography (EMG) amplitude during load carrying walking at moderate intensity. Therefore, these strength ratios might predict also the EMG during the exercises as wal...
You’ll find that pectineus assists in both adduction and flexion of the femur at the hip joint. The primary function of adductor brevis is adduction of the thigh at the hip joint. Additionally, adductor brevis assists in flexion and medial rotation of the femur at the hip joint. ...
