Implication

Biomechanical analysis demonstrates the link between hip abductor strength and pelvic-trunk kinematics during single-leg stance in elderly females, highlighting mechanics essential for stability.

Key Points

To evaluate the relationship between hip abductor muscle strength and pelvic and trunk kinematics during single-leg stance in elderly females.
Measured isometric hip abductor strength and recorded three-dimensional pelvic and trunk kinematics during single-leg stance trials in elderly female participants.
Hip abductor strength significantly correlates with the control of pelvic tilt and trunk lateral deviation during unipedal standing.
Reduced hip abductor muscle force is associated with increased compensatory trunk lean and excessive pelvic drop.
