6 of 12 Top Hip Papers | Gluteus Minimus EMG in Gaita

This study by Adam Semciw and colleagues was the first study to collect fine wire EMG data from the gluteus minimus muscle in gait. Prior to the publication of this paper, the function of this muscle had largely been assumed from its anatomical structure. This research opened a window into dynamic function of this deep hip abductor muscle. Watch the video, and head to my blog to read more!
