Lower extremity neuromuscular control immediately after fatiguing hip-abduction exercise.

Context: Fatigue of the gluteus medius (GMed) muscle might be associated with decreases in postural control due to insufficient pelvic stabilization. Men and women might have different muscular recruitment patterns in response to GMed fatigue.

Objective: To compare postural control and quality of movement between men and women after a fatiguing hip-abduction exercise.
