Summary: This study investigated how hip abductor muscle fatigue affected ankle kinematic and muscle activity during ankle-destabilized tasks. The results showed that hip abductor fatigue led to a decrease in dynamic balance and an increase in muscle activity in certain directions. These findings highlight the importance of the hip abductor muscle in postural control and its potential implications in injury prevention programs.

Summary: Despite the initial assumption that wider hips lead to increased energy expenditure while walking, our study using a musculoskeletal model and evaluating 752 trials found no correlation between hip width and total abductor energy expenditure. However, we did find that maximum hip joint coronal plane moment is predicted by pelvic width and, in combination with mass and velocity, explains 79% of the variation. These results indicate that people use their morphology to limit differences in energy expenditure and intraspecific variation may not be useful in understanding species differences.

Summary: This study used a neuromusculoskeletal model and statistical parametric mapping analysis to investigate the contribution of deep hip muscles to hip stability. The results showed that regardless of the activation level, the deep hip muscles had little impact on hip stiffness in the sagittal plane, raising doubts about their assumed function as hip stabilizers.

Summary: This study compared the activation of hip abductor muscles between individuals with and without patellofemoral pain (PFP) during exercises. The results showed differences in muscle activation among individuals with PFP, highlighting the importance of activation training prior to strengthening exercises.

Summary: In participants with gluteus medius weakness, the log-rolling positions during side-lying hip-abduction exercises have significant effects on the activation of the gluteus medius, gluteus maximus, and tensor fasciae latae muscles.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of hip joint position on the activity level of individual hamstring muscles during stiff-leg deadlift. Results showed that the deadlift in the hip-abducted position requires high activation of the individual hamstrings, while in the hip externally and internally rotated positions, there is a need for high activation of BFlh and SM, respectively.

Summary: Motor imagery training is an effective treatment for reduced muscle function, with the ability to increase muscle strength and improve imagery capability. It also has bilateral transfer effects on muscle strength and electromyography amplitude.

Summary: The study revealed a synergistic organization in motor neuron activities during complex tasks, leading to a reduction in output dimensionality. By factorizing the output of motor neurons, four motor neuron synergies and four functionally similar muscle synergies were identified. Motor neuron synergies were found to better discriminate individual finger forces compared to muscle synergies and were more consistent with the expected role of muscles in activating each finger.

Summary: This study investigated the effect of muscle force during active stretch on exercise-induced muscle damage. The results showed that adding 30% body weight during eccentric contractions did have some impact on muscle damage, but did not increase torque loss or intensify muscle soreness.

Summary: This study examined the effects of medial hip rotation torque on the myoelectric activity of the tensor fascia latae (TFL), gluteus medius, and gluteus maximus. The results showed that there was a significant increase in TFL and superior portion of the gluteus maximus activity during medial hip rotation at 90 degrees of hip flexion.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate whether intramuscular EMG of the deep hip muscles is necessary for estimating hip contact force magnitude or direction. The results showed that intramuscular EMG is not necessary for estimating hip contact force, but is likely essential for investigations of deep hip muscle function.

Summary: The study found that using muscle activity retention taping can significantly reduce minimum toe clearance, causing changes in knee and ankle joint angles, but muscle activity increases significantly, mainly due to the healthy and strong muscle condition of the subjects.

Summary: This study compared the EMG-force relationships of the medial, lateral, and long heads of the triceps brachii at different elbow joint angles. The results showed that relatively smaller neuromuscular activation was required when the elbow joint angle was extended, but neuromuscular activation levels and relative force levels were matched in all three synergists when the elbow joint angle was at 90 degrees or a more flexed position.

Summary: Nonoperative treatment may be a valid long-term option for degenerative hip abductor lesions, especially for partial tears, as they show a low risk of clinically relevant progression or muscle fatty infiltration (FI), and similar clinical outcomes to operatively treated hip abductor tendon lesions reported in the literature.

Summary: A study on individuals with diabetes revealed a significant association between toe-extension movement pattern and metatarsophalangeal joint deformity, with factors like ankle dorsiflexion range of motion, neuropathy severity, and foot intrinsic muscle deterioration ratio influencing the movement pattern. These findings suggest the importance of assessing and treating movement patterns across multiple tasks in clinical practice.

Summary: This study found that patients with diabetes mellitus and peripheral neuropathy have less foot and ankle plantar flexion. Limited plantar flexion in non-weight-bearing suggests limited joint mobility in these patients. However, peak unilateral and bilateral heel rise is not affected by limited joint mobility.

Summary: This study investigates the pain features and management strategies in children with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS) and hypermobility spectrum disorder (HSD) using patient-reported outcomes. The study found that ankle and back were the most frequently reported regions of pain, with mild to moderate pain interference. Treatment methods such as exercise, acetaminophen, and visiting physicians were commonly used, and parents were generally satisfied with their child's treatment.
