Clark Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science June, 2018Existing literature has identified several risk factors for the development of lower limb injuries and musculoskeletal disorders in recreational runners, including hip abductor muscle strength deficits as well as abnormal patterns in hip running kinematics. Studies have indicated that hip abductor muscles play a role in stabilizing the hip during running and that hip abductor strength deficits are associated with the development of overuse injuries as well as abnormal hip kinematics while performing tasks upright. However, the relationship between hip abductor strength deficits and abnormal pelvic kinematics while running remains unclear.en-USCreative Commons BY-NC-ND 4.0-USGaitRunningHuman physiologyHipKinematicsBiomechanicsThesis/Dissertation
