From: The influence of gluteal muscle strength deficits on dynamic knee valgus: a scoping review
Key finding from the review | Clinical implications |

Gluteal muscles strength prevents Dynamic knee valgus | Â |
Gluteal muscles influence the coronal axis of the knee during activities such as walking, running, and squat tasks. | Altered knee kinematics hurts the other muscle groups and vice versa. |
Patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome show increased hip internal rotation and decreased Gluteal Muscle activation during a single-leg squat. | A strong gluteal musculature would be able to prevent knee sprain injuries |
