The effect of experimentally induced gluteal muscle weakness on joint kinematics, reaction forces, and dynamic balance performance during stair climbing
A weakness in the hip abductors severely affected stair climbing performance. Those who managed to complete the task demonstrated abnormal kinematics, reduced joint reaction forces, and poorer dynamic balance.
