Summary

The purpose of this investigation is to compare the effects of a combined hip activation and core stabilization training home exercise program (HEP) versus a hip activation training HEP alone on lower extremity (LE) frontal plane mechanics in healthy individuals.

Specific Aim 1: To determine whether between- and/or within-group differences exist on the Forward Step-Down test (FSDT) when comparing a combined hip activation and core stabilization training HEP as compared to a hip activation training HEP.

Specific Aim 2: To determine whether between- and/or within-group differences exist on the peak external knee abduction moment when comparing a combined hip activation and core stabilization training HEP to a hip activation training HEP.

Specific Aim 3: To determine whether between- and/or within-group differences exist on gluteal and core muscle surface electromyography (sEMG) when comparing a combined hip activation and core stabilization training HEP to a hip activation training HEP.

Specific Aim 4: To determine whether a dose-response relationship exists between HEP compliance and change on the FSDT, peak external knee abduction moment, and sEMG.

Conditions

  • Movement, Abnormal
  • Lower Extremity Problem

Interventions

OTHER

Hip activation home exercise program

The hip activation HEP group will receive a combination of hip musculature activation exercises used by previous researchers that show an increase in hip muscle recruitment. Each participant will perform their respective intervention program at home twice weekly for eight weeks.

OTHER

Hip activation plus core stabilization home exercise program

The hip activation plus core stabilization HEP group will receive the same hip exercises, plus core stabilization exercises used by previous researchers. Each participant will perform their respective intervention program at home twice weekly for eight weeks.
