Comparison of muscle activity ratio in the GMp/TFL and GMm/QL among PD, PDE, and PDF

Variable Muscle activity ratio 95% CI


PD PDE PDF PD PDE PDF
GMp/TFL 1.9 ± 1.3 0.9 ± 0.5 2.1 ± 1.5 1.3–2.5 0.7–1.1 1.4–2.7
GMm/QL 1.1 ± 1.0 0.9 ± 0.8 0.9 ± 0.7 0.7–1.6 0.6–1.2 0.6–1.2

Values are presented as mean ± standard deviation or number. GMp, posterior subdivision of gluteus medius; TFL, tensor fasciae latae; GMm, middle subdivision of gluteus medius; QL, quadratus lumborum; PD, pelvic drop exercise; PDE, pelvic drop exercise with an isometric hip extension of non-weight bearing leg; PDF, pelvic drop exercise with an isometric hip flexion of non-weight bearing leg; CI, confidence intervals.
