	Hip Extension and Abduction Dysfunctions
		The gluteus maximus is the primary muscle responsible for the motion of hip extension.
		Weakness or inhibition of the gluteus maximus can be the result of an injury to the muscle, deconditioning as a result of an illness or injury limiting the activity of walking, overuse due to excessive repetitive motion or overactivity of an antagonistic muscle.
		In gluteus medius weakness, the gait may be diminished along with a slight drop in the pelvis on the swing-leg side(2).

		The fingers (the thumbs may be used here because of tissue density) are rolled (a light smooth pressure) over the surface of the gluteus maximus near its origin, angling along the plane of the inferior lateral angle, approxfmately half an inch to an inch from the sacrum.
		The gluteus maximus is also working for correction of the deviated sacral "angle," as the inferiorly misaligned sacrum shifts the "angle" closer toward the median line.
		Therefore, the working gluteus maximus must be interpreted in combination with the entire sacral complex and thus establish the proper listing of the misalignment.

	Targeting the Gluteus Medius
		The gluteus maximus and gluteus medius are two large muscles in the buttocks that contribute greatly to forward and upward propulsion, and also to lateral or sideways motion.
		The gluteus maximus, along with the hamstrings, are recruited in any forward bending movements involving hip extension, resulting in the thigh or top of the pelvis moving backward, such as in step-ups and stiff-legged deadlifts (see www.bodyresults.com/E2Hamstrings.asp for descriptions), good mornings, squats, lunges (see www.bodyresults.com/E2freelegs.asp for variations), or traditional deadlifts.
		The role of the gluteus medius, on the other hand, is to help steady the pelvis so it does not rotate downwards or sag when the opposing side is lifted or not supported with the other leg.

		Function delay: the gluteus maximus, the fascia lata (which covers the gluteus medius, and the tensor fascia latae form a continuous fibromuscular sheath, the outer layer of the hip musculature; - action: - extends thigh at the hip, assists in laterally rotating the thigh.
		Posterolateral Approach to the Hip: internal rotation of the hip may be facilitated by transversely sectioning several cm of the insertion of the gluteus maximus tendon on the femur; do this w/ hip maximally internally rotated, & place tip of hemostat under tendinious structure to lift it away from underlying vessels.
		Gait: gluteus maximus contracts at heel-strike, slowing forward motion of trunk by arresting flexion of the hip and initiating extension; when gluteus maximus is weak, trunk lurches backward (maximus lurch) at heel-strike on weakened side to interrupt forward motion of trunk.
