(5,9) Two I-strips with a width of 2.5 cm and a length of 20 cm were applied horizontally to the middle of the
gluteus maximus muscle. The strips were placed parallel to each other over the
gluteus maximus muscle.
Anal sphincter reconstruction with the
gluteus maximus muscle: anatomic and physiologic considerations concerning conventional and dynamic gluteoplsty.
Low back pain has been associated with changes in the hip extensor recruitment pattern and disturbed lumbo-pelvic rhythm, both to which the
gluteus maximus muscle contributes (Leinonen et al., 2000; Vogt et al., 2003).
Of the ascending and transverse branches, one or both usually give off at least one well developed division running on the undersurface of the
gluteus maximus muscle (98.2%).
During the midstance phase of the gait cycle, contraction of the tensor fascia latae and
gluteus maximus muscles create a compressive force that is transmitted through the length of the entire femur that prevents it from bending with the application of ground-reactive forces during midstance.
I had no idea your
gluteus maximus muscles - that's yer bare erchie - could deactivate until Woods dropped his pearl of wisdom.
"My glutes (
gluteus maximus muscles) are shutting off.
As muscles that are overstretched cannot contract effectively, standing upright from the position of full waist flexion requires activity from the hamstring and
gluteus maximus muscles (Tortora and Grabowski, 2003).
Topping wants students to engage the
gluteus maximus muscles to create a whole-body experience.
Whereas the majority of muscle activity was for the quadriceps, triceps, and rectus abdominus for the teeter totter exercises, for the thigh-thigh-shoulder exercises, there was significant activity for the quadriceps, back extensors, rectus abdominus, triceps, and
gluteus maximus muscles, especially when using the 6-lb ball.
Leg press -- involving quadriceps, hamstrings, and
gluteus maximus muscles, used for moving between seated and standing positions.
