Gluteus medius tendonitis, also known as Gluteal amnesia or colloquially as Dead Butt syndrome is a lifestyle disease that affects the gluteus maximus muscle characterized by a lack of muscle tone and strength in the buttocks, typically from excess sitting.
The gluteus medius, one of the three gluteal muscles, is a broad, thick, radiating muscle. It is situated on the outer surface of the pelvis . Its posterior third is covered by the gluteus maximus , its anterior two-thirds by the gluteal aponeurosis , which separates it from the superficial fascia and integument.
Greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS), a form of bursitis, is inflammation of the trochanteric bursa, a part of the hip.. This bursa is at the top, outer side of the femur, between the insertion of the gluteus medius and gluteus minimus muscles into the greater trochanter of the femur and the femoral shaft.
Gluteus Maximus: The gluteus maximus is primarily responsible for hip extension, external rotation, and helps maintain an upright posture. This muscle is a powerful hip extensor (meaning it brings ...
The more common lateral extra-articular type of snapping hip syndrome occurs when the iliotibial band, tensor fasciae latae, or gluteus medius tendon slides back and forth across the greater trochanter. This normal action becomes a snapping hip syndrome when one of these connective tissue bands thickens and catches with motion.
The gluteal space is defined by anatomic landmarks. A simple way to think of the boundaries is the buttocks, or the tissue anterior to the whole of the gluteus maximus muscle. The specific boundaries (top, bottom, left, right, front, back) are defined as Posterior (back): the gluteus maximus [1]
MRI of the pelvis can rule out conditions like pelvic tumors. [29] MRI and ultrasound can be used to observe side-to-side differences, a common finding where the symptomatic side often exhibits increased piriformis size measured as increased thickness and cross-sectional area.
Tendinopathy is a type of tendon disorder that results in pain, swelling, and impaired function. [2] The pain is typically worse with movement. [2] It most commonly occurs around the shoulder (rotator cuff tendinitis, biceps tendinitis), elbow (tennis elbow, golfer's elbow), wrist, hip, knee (jumper's knee, popliteus tendinopathy), or ankle (Achilles tendinitis).
