to test gluteus maximus and hamstrings - side-side knee in extension; to test gluteus maximus only - test-side knee flexed to 90° Grades - Patient is in side lying ('gravity minimal' position) Therapist Position [edit | edit source] Therapist to stand on test side, stabilize the pelvis over the sacrum and palpate muscular recruitment. The trendelenburg sign and the lateral step down test examine lateral pelvic stability, but It should be noted that these tests don’t isolate the gluteal muscles (medius and minimus). Trendelenburg sign is used to assess the strength of the hip abductors (gluteus medius and gluteus minimus). It is done by asking the patient to do single limb.  · The gluteal muscle group includes the gluteus maximus (one of the most powerful muscles in the body), medius, and minimus, which together make up the buttock.
