Gluteus Medius Muscle Activities during Standing Hip Abduction Exercises in the Transverse Plane at Different Angles.

CONCLUSION: GMed muscle activities ofswing and stance limbs during hip abduction exercise exhibited the highest EMG at 30 degrees and 0 degrees in the transverse plane, respectively. Therefore, these exercises of GMed muscle could be suggested for early rehabilitation. Standing exercises with 0 degrees and 30 degrees hip abductions might be suitable for weight bearing and non-weight bearing purposes. PMID: 26387410 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]
