Part 2 – What Causes Gluteus Maximus Dysfunction and How Can it Affect the Slings of the Body?

 

Neuromuscular Dysfunction

 

Muscle dysfunction is the result of certain muscles becoming overactive (tight) and certain ones underactive and is caused by synergistic dominance.  Synergistic dominance is a neuromuscular phenomenon that occurs when the synergists compensate for prime movers to maintain force production.  With regards to gluteus maximus, the hamstrings take over for the gluteus maximus in hip extension movement.

 

A second neuromuscular phenomenon that can affect gluteus maximus is reciprocal inhibition.  This is the process when tight muscles decrease the neural input to the antagonist muscles.  For the gluteus maximus this means iliopsoas has an increase in neural input which leads to a decrease in neural input to gluteus maximus.

 

This neuromusclar dysfunction can lead to altered arthrokinematics at the iliosacral joint, lumbar facets and subtalar joint.

 

The Affects on the Sub-Systems of the Body

 

Alternations in the neuromuscular can have an effect in the slings of the body. Of the four force-couple sub-systems (Deep Longitudinal, Posterior Oblique, Anterior Oblique and Lateral), two are affected the most:

 

-          An underactive gluteus maximus could impact the deep longitudinal sub-system, which can have an effect on force transmission from the ground to the trunk.

 

-          An underactive gluteus maximus could impact the posterior oblique sub-system, which can affect the stabilization of the body in the transverse plane.

 

The breakdown of these sub-systems leads to the altered force transmission from the ground to the trunk, and altered transverse plane control during single leg activities.
