What is Gluteal Amnesia?
"Gluteal Amnesia" is a term that describes people who do not recruit their gluteal muscles for hip extension and instead rely on their spine extensors and hamstrings. It is common that they also present with Crossed-Pelvis Syndrome. During squatting movement patterns, the gluteals will be under-utilized while the erector spinae muscles are over-utilized, compressing the spine. Exercises to assist the contraction of the gluteal muscles are: Clamshells for Glute Medius and Bent Knee Bridges for Glute Max.
