Part 3 – Assessing Gluteus Maximus Activation
Assessing Gluteus
Maximus Firing With the client in a prone neutral
position (head in neutral, shoulders relaxed, spine in alignment, legs under
hip and ankle in plantar flexion), ask the client lift their leg off the
floor. Observe the muscle firing
pattern around the lumbo-pelvic-hip complex. Observe and look at the
gluteus maximus, erector spinae and hamstring. Now instruct the client to
keep their knee straight, extend their hip and lift their thigh off the
floor. Observe and look at the
gluteus maximus, erector spinae and hamstring. Ask your client for permission
and palpate with your thumb and index finger the muscle belly of the gluteus
maximus, erector spinae and hamstring.
Instruct the client to keep their knee straight, extend their hip and
lift their thigh off the floor. What muscles did you see
and feel activate first? You should see and feel the firing pattern of gluteus maximus, opposite erector spinae and same side erector spinae and hamstring (Semitendiunosus, Semimembranosus, Biceps femoris - long head). If the firing pattern is
different then you will have a weak agonist (gluteus maximus), overactive
antagonist (psoas), overactive stabilizer (erector spinae) and overactive
synergist (hamstring). If they have altered firing
pattern of hip extension, they may be overloading the hamstrings when they
perform exercises that involve hip extension like squat, lunges and
deadlifts. Leading to potential
hamstring and groin injuries. For More Information
