Summary

Gluteal amnesia is a "condition" where the individual is believed to have lost the ability to contract their gluteal muscles - generally the gluteus maximus, though some report it as the gluteus medius. This can take many different names, such as "dead butt", "sleeping glutes", or glutes that are "turned off".Since the gluteus medius normally helps stabilize the pelvis, gluteal amnesia can lead to lower back pain and hip pain, as well as knee and ankle issues, as the body tries to compensate for the imbalance.
