Video Summary
Jessica Endo, a physical therapist at Los Gatos Orthopaedic Sports Therapy, demonstrates testing and strengthening the gluteus medius. The test involves using a dynamometer on a patient in a side-lying position to assess torque and symmetry against the unaffected side. The aim is 85%-90% limb symmetry. Therapy starts with isometric exercises like bridging with a TheraBand and progresses to clamshell exercises. The final stage involves eccentric motion exercises like side-lying hip abduction to remodel the gluteus medius tendon. This comprehensive approach aids recovery and rehabilitation of hip stability.
