Conclusions Hip adduction strength assessment is best measured at hips 0 (which produced most force) or 45° flexion (which generally gave the highest EMG output). Muscle EMG varied significantly with clinical test position. Athletes with previous groin injury had a significant fall in some EMG ...
Rollerblading, or inline skating, is a low-impact but effective compound exercise that works a variety of muscles. Much like ice skating, the primary muscles used to propel you forward are in your hips and legs. Rollerblading provides secondary benefits to stabilizer muscles in your abs and calv...
Used to extend the hip when climbing stairs. | adductor group | biceps femoris | extensor digitorum longus | fibularis (peroneus) muscles | gastrocnemius | gluteus maximus | rectus femoris | semimem List the three muscles located in the medial compartment of the...
During the terminal knee extension exercise, the EMG activities in the VL muscle of the male subjects were higher (p<.05) than in the VMO muscle. For both genders, no significant difference was found in the EMG activities of both muscles during the hip adduction exercise. Our results ...
A powder board may also be used to decrease friction. FIGURE 6-6 Position of Therapist: Standing behind patient. Cradle test limb in one arm with hand support under the knee. Opposite hand maintains trunk alignment at hip (see Figure 6-6). Test: Patient flexes supported hip. Knee is ...
Known as the glute max for short, this is the largest and strongest muscle in the human body. Basically your butt, the glute max is responsible for hip extension, but some of its fibers are also involved in hip adduction and abduction, as well as external rotation. ...
DKV is a combination of hip adduction and internal rotation, knee abduction, anterior tibial displacement, tibia external rotation, and ankle eversion [7]. The line of gravity in this movement pattern is located lateral to the foot-thigh line and causes medial knee displacement in individuals with...
strength and power, improving your run and sprint performance. This muscle also helps in drawing your thigh toward the midline of your body when your leg is out to the side, or adduction. Including hip flexion, hip adduction and a combination of such movements strengthens your pectineus muscle...
The hip joint is a ball-and-socket joint between the femur (thigh bone) and the acetabulum (socket in the pelvis). It is a strong and stable joint that allows for a wide range of motion including flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, and rotation....
Lats: Adduction and extension of the shoulders. You need strong lats if you throw punches. Boxers and martial artists go to extreme lengths to develop their lats because it increases the penetrative power of their punches. Lats are also used in rowing and bowling, gymnastics and wrestling. Trai...
