Abstrakt: [Purpose] The purpose of this study was to design a gluteus medius weight-bearing exercise and quantify the activity of the gluteus medius during the exercise. [Methods] The electromyography of the right gluteus medius was recorded during maximum isometric abduction of the left hip during right single-leg standing. The activity of the gluteus medius during the task was normalized to the maximum voluntary contraction (%MVC). [Results] The activity of the gluteus medius was 108 %MVC during the task. [Conclusion] This result suggests that the task of this study increased variation of a weight-bearing strengthening exercise for the gluteus medius. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
