Background: The gluteus medius (GMed) and gluteus minimus (GMin) muscle segments
demonstrate different responses to pathology and ageing, hence it is important in …

Objective To investigate the effect of muscle strength exercise training (MSET) on lean mass
(LM) gain and muscle hypertrophy in older patients with lower extremity osteoarthritis (OA) …

Objective To synthesise and evaluate the current evidence investigating muscle size and
composition in non-inflammatory articular hip pathology. Methods A systematic review of five …

The gluteal muscles act as stabilizers of the hip joint and are important for the maintenance
of hip function. Atrophy and weakness of the gluteal muscles have been identified in people …

Background Older adults with hip osteoarthritis (OA) suffer a progressive loss of muscle
quality and strength, affecting their daily activities and quality of life. The purpose of this …

[Purpose] Gluteus medius syndrome is one of the major causes of back pain or leg pain and
is similar to greater trochanteric pain syndrome, which also presents with back pain or leg …

This study aimed (I) to compare the muscle quality index (MQI) and the isometric hip strength
between younger and older women, and (II) to determine the relationship of the MQI with the …

Background: Gluteus medius muscle (GMed) dysfunctions may be associated with pain and
functional problems in the lumbar spine and lower limbs. The study sought to assess the …

A challenge in understanding chronic musculoskeletal pain is that research is often siloed
between neuroscience, physical therapy/rehabilitation, orthopedics, and rheumatology …

Aims The gluteus minimus (GMin) and gluteus medius (GMed) have unique structural and
functional segments that may be affected to varying degrees, by end-stage osteoarthritis …
