Prone hip extension with lower abdominal hollowing improves the relative timing of gluteus maximus activation in relation to biceps femoris (2009)
Journal Article
Chance-Larsen, K., Littlewood, C., & Garth, A. (2010). Prone hip extension with lower abdominal hollowing improves the relative timing of gluteus maximus activation in relation to biceps femoris. Manual Therapy, 15(1), 61-65. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.math.2009.07.001

Hamstring injuries are common. The hamstrings and gluteus maximus (GM) work as synergists during hip extension. When contraction of GM is delayed relative to Biceps Femoris (BF) the hamstrings may be predisposed to injury due to increased demand. Thi...

A contractile dysfunction of the shoulder (2007)
Journal Article

The McKenzie method of mechanical diagnosis and therapy (McKenzie, 1981, 1990; McKenzie and May, 2000, 2003), is commonly used in the management of spinal disorders (Foster et al., 1999; Gracey et al., 2002; Jackson, 2001). The method involves a mech... Read More about A contractile dysfunction of the shoulder.
