#hip weakness

[shyyycatsblog]

Does anyone else get random bouts of weakness in their legs? Like I'll just be sitting or standing somewhere vibing and then it'll suddenly feel like my hip and less muscles just go weak and don't want to support me anymore? When I'm standing I always need to hurry up and sit down and when I'm sitting I can still feel it happen? It's just a strange sensation I don't know how exactly to describe it 🫠

Weakness in the hips is a common complaint. Left unchecked, it can lead to significant problems in the back, legs and feet. Improving posture and strengthening your hips, leg muscles and core can help prevent orthopedic injuries.

Weak hips can lead to other leg problems.

Hip function and knee pain, again.

And once again...... another study validating the fact of weak hip stabilizing muscles in causing knee pain.  The study showed that increased activation of the gluteus maximus in individuals with patellofemoral knee pain suggests that these subjects were attempting to recruit a weakened muscle, perhaps in an effort to stabilize the hip joint. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther. 2009 Jan;39(1):12-9.

Differences in hip kinematics, muscle strength, and muscle activation between subjects with and without patellofemoral pain.
