Summary

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between latent MTrPs and gluteus medius muscle strength in a group of healthy adults.

Conditions

  • Myofascial Pain Syndrome
  • Muscle Weakness

Interventions

DEVICE

Muscle strength measurement

The bilateral gluteus medius muscle strength of each participant will be measured by the assessor (MB) blinded to the participants using the Lafayette manual muscle tester. (Lafayette Instrument Company, Lafayette IN, USA). In the participant's side-lying position, the practitioner applied resistance from the upper ankle to the abduction movement with slight flexion of the upper hip. During the measurements, the participants were asked to perform the maximum isometric contraction for 3 seconds. Gluteus medius muscle strength measurements were repeated three times, one minute apart, on the right and left sides. The mean of the measurements was calculated and recorded
