“…The co-activation of the trunk, gluteal, and lower extremity muscles decrease LBP and prevents abnormal movement patterns [24][25][26]. Also, reduced gluteal muscle activity and strength were found in patients with LBP [6,15,27]. Previous studies have shown that hip position can alter the activation of the abdominal muscles and the GM, which has important effects on lumbo-pelvic stability.…”

“…The increased lumbo-pelvic muscles increase trunk stability and muscle coordination, thereby reducing the risk of low back injury [3]. Inappropriate control of the gluteal muscles in asymptomatic individuals prevents lumbo-pelvic stability, which is an early sign of low back diseases [4][5][6]. Thoracolumbar stability requires lumbo-pelvic muscle activation [7].…”

“…Women with gluteus maximus (GM) weakness adopt abnormal movement strategies, resulting in compensatory movements of the lower back [6]. GM stabilizes the lumbopelvic-hip complex and is therefore a major contributor to weight-bearing movements.…”

“…Its most important role is in hip extension. Weakness of GM increases the stress on the intervertebral disc and lumbar spine ligaments [6,14,15]. Trunk and lumbo-pelvic exercises instantaneously increase the activities of erector spinae (ES) and hamstring muscles to compensate for the hip extension movement [5,9,16].…”

Exercise Hip Paraspinal muscles PelvisBackground: The gluteus maximus (GM) muscle comprise the lumbo-pelvic complex and is an important stabilizing muscle during leg extension. In patients with low back pain (LBP) with weakness of the GM, spine leads to compensatory muscle activities such as instantaneous increase of the erector spinae (ES) muscle activity. Four-point kneeling arm and leg lift (FKALL) is most common types of lumbopelvic and GM muscles strengthening exercise. We assumed that altered hip position during FKALL may increase thoraco-lumbar stabilizer like GM activity more effectively method. Objects:The purpose of this study was investigated that effects of the three exercise postures on the right-sided GM, internal oblique (IO), external oblique (EO), and multifidus (MF) muscle activities and pelvic kinematic during FKALL.Methods: Twenty eight healthy individuals participated in this study. The exercises were performed three conditions of FKALL (pure FKALL, FKALL with 120° hip flexion of the supporting leg, FKALL with 30° hip abduction of the lifted leg). Participants performed FKALL exercises three times each condition, and motion sensor used to measure pelvic tilt and rotation angle.Results: This study demonstrated that no significant change in pelvic angle during hip movement in the FKALL (p > 0.05). However, the MF and GM muscle activities in FKALL with hip flexion and hip abduction is greater than pure FKALL position (p < 0.001). Conclusion:Our finding suggests that change the posture of the hip joint to facilitate GM muscle activation during trunk stabilization exercises such as the FKALL.

Background: Gluteus medius muscle is important for the stability of hip joint. The sufficient core stability can be contributed to the performance of gluteus medius muscle in standing position. In addition, the external support may affect core stability in standing position. Objects:The purpose of this study was to investigated the effectiveness of the external support on the strength and muscle activity of hip abductor muscle during hip abduction in standing position in subjects without core stability. Methods:Fifteen subjects participated in this study. The subjects were evaluated by using the double-leg lowering with bent knees to measure the core stability. The strength and muscle activity of hip abductors was measured in standing position with the condition with and without external support using the tensiometer sensor and the surface electromyography. The paired t-test was used to investigate the difference between hip abductor strength and activity according to external support. The level of statistical significance was set at α = 0.05. Results:The hip abductor strength and muscle activity of gluteus medius muscle with external support were significantly greater than those without external support during hip abduction in standing position (p < 0.05). Conclusion:During hip abduction in standing position, the external support may be contributed to the improvement of the hip abductor strength and muscle activity of gluteus medius especially in the subjects without core stability.
