Muscle balance is necessary for muscles to perform their customary roles and move normally; muscle imbalance occurs when there is a lack of parity between corresponding agonist and antagonist muscles. [1] Muscular imbalance can also arise when a muscle performs outside of its normal physiological muscle function. [2] [3] Muscles are considered ...
Quadriceps muscle imbalance [7] [14] [15] Tight anatomical structures, e.g. retinaculum or iliotibial band [7] Excessive genu valgum and repetitive motion; Patellofemoral pain syndrome can also result from fractures/trauma, internal knee derangement, osteoarthritis of the knee, and bony tumors in or around the knee. [16] [self-published source?]
Muscle imbalance, including weak core muscles, inflexibility and tightness of lower leg muscles, including the gastrocnemius, soleus, and plantar muscles (commonly the flexor digitorum longus) can increase the possibility of shin splints. [15]
Muscle imbalances and overuse can put stress on the plantar fascia, resulting in sharp, stabbing pain in the arch of the foot and/or heel. Sufferers often find plantar fasciitis pain is most acute ...
Abnormalities in leg/feet anatomy. High or low arches; Supination of the foot; Excessive lower-leg rotation due to over-pronation; Excessive foot-strike force; Uneven leg lengths; Bowlegs or tightness about the iliotibial band. Muscle imbalance. Weak hip abductor muscles; Weak/nonfiring multifidus muscle
Certain biomechanical or muscle length imbalances may ultimately predispose a person to sacroiliac dysfunction and pain. Likely, this is a result of altered gait patterns and repetitive stress to the SI joint and related structures. [1]
Even seasoned lifters can benefit from machines, especially for hypertrophy (that is, muscle growth) or correcting muscular imbalances. “My left quad is a little weaker than my right due to an ...
Single leg squats can be used to strengthen a person's stabilizer muscles more so than two legged squats and improve their ability to balance. They can also be used to remove muscle imbalances in the body by ensuring that, when performed alternatively, the right and left leg do the same amount of work.
