Group type: EXPERIMENTAL
Intervention: Glutes maximus strength protocol
Description: The subjects attended physical therapy two times. Per week for a total of 10 visits. Each session lasted approximately 30 minutes. In the first five sessions, subjects performed the following exercises to strengthen the gluteus maximus: bilateral bridge, unilateral bridge, and non-weight-bearing hip extension in prone with the knee flexed at 90 degrees. In the next five sessions, abduction and external rotation in a quadruped (fire hydrant exercise) and weight-bearing hip extension (known as deadlift exercise) were added. Each exercise was performed for 10 repetitions. Elastic resistance was added to the fire hydrant, hip extension in prone and dead lift exercises to allow each subject to perform at a 10-repetition maximum. The resistance for each subject was adjusted weekly as needed. The exercise program was performed under direct supervision only during the physical therapy sessions.
