Glutes Flashcards
Lower cross effects on the hip: inhibited gluteals cause what?
Altered compression which contributes to degeneration and OA.
The ______ act as a local stabilizer, global stabilizer and a global mobilizer.
Glutes
Force Closure of SI
Local Stab - Segmental Stab
Control and centralize the femur in the acetabulum
Local Stab - Segmental Stab
Co-contraction with psoas major provides pelvic stability
Local Stab - Segmental Stab
Segmental stabilizer through tensing TL fascia and triggering deep lumbar multifidus
Local Stab - Segmental Stab
Sagittal Plane stabilization of trunk during gait and standing
Global Stab - Eccentric lengthening or isometric holding to control ROM
Controls trunk rotation during gait through connection with Lat.
Global Stab - Eccentric lengthening or isometric holding to control ROM
Frontal plane stabilizer during single leg (trendelenburg)
Global Stab - Eccentric lengthening or isometric holding to control ROM
Hip extension
Global Mobilizer - Produce high force or power
External rotation
Global Mobilizer - Produce high force or power
Superior Fibers - ABD
Global Mobilizer - Produce high force or power
Lower Fibers - ADD
Global Mobilizer - Produce high force or power
This test checks for the mobility of the iliacus/psoas major/rectus femoris/TFL-IT band
Modified Thomas Test for hip flexors
Tightness will limit hip _________ in gait leading to anterior pelvic tilt and weakness in the glutes.
hyperextension
