Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine if activation training of the hip musculature affects muscle activation and frontal plane mechanics in healthy individuals.

Specific Aim 1: Determine whether performance on the forward step-down test (FSDT) changes after an eight-week home exercise program (HEP) focused on hip musculature activation in healthy individuals.

Specific Aim 2: Determine whether surface electromyography (sEMG) hip musculature changes following an eight-week HEP focused on hip musculature activation in healthy individuals.

Specific Aim 3: Determine whether a dose-response relationship exists between compliance on the HEP and changes in FSDT scores in healthy individuals.

Specific Aim 4: Determine whether a dose-response relationship exists between compliance on the HEP and sEMG changes in hip musculature activation in healthy individuals.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Arm 1

Participants will undergo lower extremity movement assessment on the Forward Step Down Test before and after a home exercise program (HEP) consisting of five hip activation exercises. These exercises will be performed 2x/week for 8 weeks. Surface EMG of the gluteus maximus and medius, in addition to tracking of participant compliance on the HEP program will also be assessed pre- and post-intervention.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Hip muscle activation home exercise program

Intervention Type OTHER

Participants will perform a home exercise program consisting of five hip muscle activation exercises with the use of a resistance band. The program will be eight weeks in duration, and participants will perform the exercises twice weekly.
