Tendinopathy of the gluteus medius and gluteus minimus tendons is now recognized as a primary local source of lateral hip pain. The condition mostly occurs in mid-life both in athletes and in subjects who do not regularly exercise. Females are afflicted more than males. This condition interferes...
The attachment site for five muscles: the gluteus medius, gluteus minimus, piriformis, obturator externus and obturator internus. Patellar tendon The tendon running inferiorly from the patella bone to the tibial tuberosity. Tibialis posterior tendon The tendon on the inner side of the ankle that ...
Then proceed to palpate the structures around the greater trochanter and look for the reproduction of the patient’s lateral hip pain with palpation of the gluteus medius and or gluteus minimus tendon insertions. Pain felt should be at least 2/10 on the NPRS....
Gluteal tendinopathy is pain that originates from the greater trochanter and extends down the lateral hip. It is thought to be caused by excessive compression and high tensile loads on the gluteus medius and minimus tendons. It is now believed that inflammation of the greater trochanter bursa is...
This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of tendinosis and tears of gluteus medius and minimus muscles in patients presenting with buttock, lateral hip, or groin pain; describe the MR imaging findings; and discuss their probable relationship to the greater trochanteric pain syndrome.Two ...

Results Seventeen patients completed the study (mean 卤 SD age 68.1 卤 10.8 years, mean duration of symptoms 13 months). MRI revealed tendinopathy and/or bursitis of the gluteus medius and/or minimus tendons in all patients, with evidence of tearing in 15. Sensitivity and specificity were 100...
Electromyographic (EMG) data from six muscles (tibialis anterior (TA), peroneus longus (PE), lateral gastrocnemius (LG), rectus femoris (RF), biceps femoris (BF) and gluteus medius (GM)) were measured with a telemetric EMG system. Knee range of motion (heel strike to midstance) was ...
The purpose of this study was to compare the neuromotor control of the Gluteus Medius (GMED) and Gluteus Maximus (GMAX) muscles in runners with Achilles tendinopathy to that of healthy controls. Fourteen male runners with Achilles tendinopathy and nineteen healthy male runners (Control) ran over-...
Greater trochanteric pain syndrome is commonly due to gluteus minimus or medius injury rather than trochanteric bursitis. Gluteal tendinopathy most frequently occurs in late-middle aged females. In this pictorial review the pertinent MRI and US anatomy of the gluteal tendon insertions on the greater ...
