abstract="CONTEXT: There are few outcomes-based studies that address hip strategy and gluteus medius strength (GMS) for maintaining dynamic postural control. OBJECTIVE: To determine whether GMS training, proprioception training, or a combination of the 2 has an effect on dynamic postural control. DESIGN: Pretest-posttest, repeated measures. SETTING: Sports-medicine clinic. PARTICIPANTS: 48 healthy male and female college students obtained via sample of convenience. INTERVENTIONS: Three 6-wk programs including exercises for proprioception, GMS, and combined. MAIN OUTCOMES MEASURES: Eight Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) reach distances and GMS for the dominant leg. RESULTS: There was no significant difference between groups. The combination group demonstrated the most improvements in SEBT reach distances, whereas the GMS group demonstrated the most improvement in GMS. CONCLUSION: Use of exercises for proprioception, GMS, or a combination of the 2 will help improve dynamic postural control in healthy, active individuals.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
