Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to assess the impact of hip joint manipulation (HJM) on the activation and strength of the gluteus medius (GM) and tensor fascia latae (TFL) muscles in healthy young adults, as these muscles play a vital role in lower limb and lumbar spine injury rehabilitation.
- - A double-blind controlled trial involved 30 healthy participants who were either subjected to HJM or a sham intervention, with muscle activity measured through surface electromyography before and after the treatments.
- - Results indicated a significant increase in GM muscle activation following HJM, but the overall effects were not statistically or clinically significant compared to the control group for the other muscles analyzed.
