Did you watch the video Aleks? Knee extension is used to reciprocally inhibit the biceps femoris, you could use knee flexion but it would have to be knee flexion beyond 90 so that the vector on the knee results in gravity pushing further into flexion so the hamstrings do not become active... this is actually a tougher thing to cue. And why not use your intrinsic stabilizers using the abdominal drawing-in maneuver and or anterior abdominal muscle activity to attain a neutral spine?

If the right glute is weaker why not load it? if this guy is playing sports etc, he can presumably squat, lunge etc. He can progressively load the muscles of the weaker glute which is the only way to actually address the imbalance caused by the lumbar pathology. I'm not sure how this band can overcome the strength deficit in the glute? As a side question, what does activation mean in this context?
@BrookbushInstitute8 жыл бұрын
+maulstar1 This is a two part question and I am going to try and give a 2 part answer that will explain the technique above - Activation and integrated strengthening (loading as you call it) are not one in the same, nor will they have the same affect. A patient with lumbar pathology above may not be able to do lunges or squats due to pain, but in the case of the patient above what I am more concerned with is compensation. Due to the pain and changes in motion, the patient above has altered lengths and activities of several muscles. That should be corrected before we start doing larger movement patterns. For example, in this patients case, the biceps femoris (part of the hamstring) was synergistically dominant for an inhibited gluteus maximus. If he were to do lunges, it is not his glute that is going to fire, but his over-active biceps femoris. Using an activation technique like the one above, I can increase the "activity" (also known as tone, motor unit recruitment, neural drive, etc) to his under-active glutes preparing him for loaded integrated activities. It is likely I would follow this with a loaded exercise, but I am willing to bet if you tried this before a lower body routine you would feel better. Sincerely, Dr. B2

Brent Brookbush thanks for reply if hamstrings acting as knee flexors would it not make it harder for them to also extend the hip if you want isolated glute activation??in prone would gravity not extend the knee and plantarflex the ankle? if the knee was flexed and the ankle dorsiflexed this would be a prone version of a bridge against gravity
@BrookbushInstitute9 жыл бұрын
fionnan hallinan You are right, gravity may be assisting knee extension, but it is the quad contraction that interests me. The longer lever of a straight leg will certainly make it harder, but generally the glutes (even when inhibited) are strong enough to simply raise the weight of the leg. I often have to add some resistance to this exercise just to get a sufficient stimulus for continued progress. B2
@1982hal9 жыл бұрын
Brent Brookbush but would the quads contraction which would include the rectus femoris, a hip flexor, not cause glute inhibition....if the knee was nearly fully extended the hamstrings would be under eccentric load so difficult to assist glutes and it would be a long lever technique...I completely agree with the importance of triple extension for every day function tho
@BrookbushInstitute9 жыл бұрын
fionnan hallinan The rectus femoris is an extensor of the knee and hip flexor and to give you a definitive answer I would need to see EMG research as to whether the rectus femoris can inhibit the glutes and what effect hip extension has on rectus femoris activity. I actually want as little help from the hamstrings as possible, as the intent of this exercise is to reduce synergistic dominance of the hamstrings and increase gluteus maximus activity. Although I do not have the research to support the hypothesis, I do believe triple extension in general is a good additional cue for enhancing glute recruitment. Thank you for the questions, Dr. B2

why not bend the working knee during the glut max activation in prone? seems to take the hamstrings out of the equation
@BrookbushInstitute8 жыл бұрын
+IANjib8617 Great question Ian, In my experience, bending the knee leads to individuals activating their hamstrings to ensure the knee stays bent (resist gravity) or bending their knee during the exercise like it is a modification of a leg curl. Using the quadriceps (knee extended) to reciprocally inhibit the hamstrings has resulted in better glute activation for me and my patients/clients. Further, the cues used in this video reinforce triple extension mechanics, which may be far more functional (transfer well to activity) than the bent knee variation. Hope that answers your question, Dr. B2
@TC-by3il7 жыл бұрын
This is a very late response but here it goes anyway. Usually when manually testing glut max strength you will have the patient prone in the same position as the video, but with their their leg bent, as cyborg mentioned. I've pondered why that is, because I too feel the hamstrings working when I do it myself, but could it be because of active insufficiens of the hamstrings? What if the leg bending was passive with the therapist gently holding it bent? That would attribute to active insufficiens AND the patient not having to actively contract their hamstrings to hold the leg in place, right? Would that be possible, or would it interfere too much with the movement?
@BrookbushInstitute7 жыл бұрын
You are correct on all counts. I think the secret to using a bent let is to allow the leg to bend past 90 degrees so that gravity is assisting in further flexion. At this point, the individual has to use their quadriceps to keep their leg straight and this helps to inhibit the hamstrings. I have done both muscle testing and muscle activation with straight and bent legs, both are effective, I find the method above easier to teach. Dr. B2
