Glute Activation and Hip Position

Post from the Gait Guys on differences in glute firing depending on hip position.

We utilize these positions along with some additional prompts to help target the specific portion of the glute we want.  Some of this comes from DNS(Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization) concepts and doublechecking major form faults.  The major form variation is hip flexion angle, modifying as needed to achieve the desired muscle activation, this can vary from patient to patient

 

They also mention progression from supine to quadruped, see some of our other videos work shopping this transition.

 

 

Thanks for reading
