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

 

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
