Article Synopsis
- Hip abductor muscles, particularly the gluteus medius, play a crucial role in controlling hip movement during activities like squatting and running, which can impact knee alignment and joint health.
- This study aimed to evaluate the reliability and validity of a clinical test for the gluteus medius compared to a maximum strength test using a hand-held dynamometer, and to provide reference values for youth athletes.
- Findings showed a weak correlation between the two tests indicating they measure different aspects of muscle function, but both tests demonstrated excellent reliability among examiners.
