Comparison of hip extensor muscle activity including the adductor magnus during three prone hip extension exercises.

CONCLUSIONS: Based on these results, we advocate including the Amag as a hip extensor during the PHE test or exercise. Our preliminary results have the potential to be applied directly to the PHE test, for investigating the muscle-activation pattern of the Amag with the Gmax and hamstrings in patients with hip or lower back pain.
