Abstract Background Abnormal gluteus medius muscle activity is associated with a number of musculoskeletal conditions. Research investigating the effect of foot type and foot orthoses on gluteus medius muscle activity is both conflicting and limited. The primary aim was to investigate the relationship between foot type and gluteus medius muscle activity during shod walking. The secondary aims of this study were to explore the effect and amount of usage of a pair of unmodified prefabricated foot orthoses on gluteus medius muscle activity during shod walking. Methods Foot type was determined using the foot posture index and gluteus medius muscle activity was measured with surface electromyography in 50 healthy adults during shod walking. Participants were then fitted with prefabricated foot orthoses and required to return after 4 weeks. Pearson’s correlation and one-way ANOVA were used to determine effect of foot type. Paired t-tests and ANCOVA were used to determine effect of foot orthoses. Results Participants with a cavus foot type demonstrated significantly more gluteus medius mean (p = 0.04) and peak amplitude (p = 0.01), and a greater range in amplitude (p = 0.01) compared to participants with a neutral foot type. Compared to a planus foot type, participants with a cavus foot type demonstrated significantly larger mean (p = 0.02) and peak amplitude (p = 0.01), and a greater range in amplitude (p = 0.01). Prefabricated foot orthoses did not change the gluteus medius muscle activity. Conclusion When assessing healthy adults with a cavus foot type, clinicians and researchers should be aware that these participants may display higher levels of gluteus medius muscle activity during gait compared to neutral and planus type feet. Additionally, clinicians and researchers should be aware that the type of prefabricated foot orthoses used did not change gluteus medius muscle activity over 4 weeks. Future research should aim to explore this relationship between foot type and gluteus medius muscle activity in larger sample sizes, consider the potential role of other lower extremity muscles and biomechanical variables, and investigate if these findings also occur in people with pathology.

Purpose: The clinical outcomes of total hip arthroplasty are influenced by the correct muscle function that determines good, longterm and proper function of the artificial joint. The aim of the study was to analyze the electromyographic activity of the gluteus medius muscle in patients with hip osteoarthritis and after arthroplasty in various static weight bearing conditions, both on the affected and contralateral side. Methods: The prospective study involved 70 patients qualified for hip replacement. Patients underwent a surface electromyography of the gluteus medius muscle which involved the Trendelenburg test. The normalized results were obtained for both hips, preoperatively and 6 months after arthroplasty. Results: The only muscle activity differences were found at a full load condition of lower limb. In the preoperative assessment, the activity of the gluteus medius muscle was greater on the side qualified for surgery. After arthroplasty and the rehabilitation period, the muscle activity on the operated side decreased and significantly increased on the contralateral side. Detailed analysis of the contralateral side revealed relationship with osteoarthritis. Previous hip arthroplasty of that side resulted in lower muscle activity, similar to fully functional joints. Conclusion: The activity characteristics of the gluteus medius muscle vary depending on the condition of the joint, and the characteristics change as a result of the surgical procedure performed on both the operated and contralateral sides. These dependencies should be taken into account in the rehabilitation process, especially at the side opposite to the operated one.
