Background Previous research has shown that muscle imbalances may be an important risk factor for lower limb injuries in runners. No studies have evaluated hip musculature imbalance in sprinters.
This week we are going to discuss trigger points about the hip which can mimic other problems in the hip and back, as well as cause their own special kind of misery. These are the abductors and ...

Jump-landing movement tasks are considered high-risk due to their frequent association with non-contact injuries to the lower extremities, particularly anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries 1,2.
Fatigue of the hip abductor muscles may influence lower limb biomechanics and potentially contribute to anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury risk. However, the effects of targeted hip abductor ...
Rotational abnormalities are a common problem in many neuromuscular disorders, such as cerebral palsy and myelomeningocele. Torsional bony deformities, identified during the clinical examination, may ...
