Individuals with Diminished Hip Abductor Muscle Strength Exhibit Altered Ankle Biomechanics & Neuromuscular Activation during Unipedal Balance Tasks Szu-Ping Lee, Christopher M. Powers Gait & Posture; In Press Quote: Coordinated control of the hip and ankle is important for maintaining postural stability. The purpose of the study was to compare postural stability between individuals with contrasting hip abductor strength during unipedal balance tasks and to determine whether diminished hip abductor strength results in greater utilization of the ankle strategy to maintain balance
