    In healthy individuals, anterior rotation of the innominate occurs during extension of the freely swinging leg. When the innominate anteriorly rotates, it glides inferiorly down the short arm and posteriorly along the long arm of the SIJ. In non-weights bearing an arthrokinematic glide between the innominate and the sacrum occurs during posterior rotation of the innominate and is physiological (i.e., follows the articular surfaces). In weight bearing, the close-packing of the SIJ precludes this physiological glide. Sacral nutation produces the same relative arthrokinematic glide as posterior rotation of the innominate (inferoposterior motion of the sacrum is the same as anterosuperior motion of the innominate); sacral counternutation produces the same arthrokinematic glide as anterior rotation of the innominate (anterosuperior motion of the sacrum is the same as inferoposterior motion of the

    My rectus femoris and bicep femoris have also received some toning because these exercises also targeted those muscles. Since those muscles are used in my endurance workouts, I have been able to see visible results in not only my fitness testing results, but my own body as well; I’ve lost some weight in my legs and I’ve got a more firm gluteus maximus. To continue with my third goal of toning my rectus abdominis, I chose to complete an endurance workout because a strength workout would result in gaining muscle mass, which does not achieve my goal. In order to accomplish this, I have done planks, v-snaps, tuck extends, wood chops, side planks, russian twists, hollow holds, running mans, mountain climbers, crossover sit ups, banana rolls and windshield wipers. These exercises fit in with my goals because increasing reps and weight in my core workouts lead to a stronger and tighter core consequently leading to a toned rectus

    Lying sideways with the injured leg straightened on the floor, he should cross the uninjured leg in front of the injured one. This will force the injured leg to extend and bear weight. The gluteus maximus’ action is extension, external rotation, and hip abduction. The origin is at the ilium, sacrum, and coccyx, the insertion is at the lateral surface of the greater trochanter, and it is innervated by the inferior gluteal nerve. Lying on the side of the uninjured leg

    The directions from the SENIAM link, was very helpful and it was great assistance in the placement. The SENIAM was very specific with pictures, which made it a lot easier to find the muscles (rectus and biceps femoris). Also, using the tape measure to make sure that the electrodes where in the correct places, also made placement easier. As I practiced with taking the sticky plastic off of the electrode, I began to feel a lot more comfortable with taking those off, to place the electrode in the desired location. In the beginning pulling the sticky paper off, was a bit of a challenge.
