Abstract
Aim: Gluteus medius and gluteus minimus (GMin) are considered the prime hip abductors of the hip joint with their main function to stabilise the pelvis during weight bearing. Previous attempts to assess the function of GMed in running using electromyography (EMG) have failed to account for the multiple segments, using only a single surface electrode that may be contaminated by ‘noise’ from surrounding muscles. Furthermore, there are no EMG studies that have assessed GMin muscle activity during running. The aims of this research are to develop EMG profiles of GMed and GMin during running and to make comparisons of the activation patterns of each segment between the varying ambulation speeds.
