Background The gluteus medius (GM) muscle consists of three subdivisions that contribute differently to hip stabilization and movement, but their specific activation patterns during common strengthening exercises remain unclear. Objectives To investigate the differences in muscle activity between the anterior, middle, and posterior branches of the gluteus medius muscle when performing five common GM strengthening exercises. Methods Twenty healthy adult males and females performed five exercises: pelvic drop (PD), figure four position (FFP), wall press (WP), hip hitch (HH), and side-lying clam (SL). Electromyography (EMG) was used to measure muscle activation in the three GM subdivisions. Data were analyzed using repeated one-way ANOVA with post-hoc tests. Results The posterior branch demonstrated the highest activation across all exercises (p < 0.05). Significant differences in muscle activation were observed among the GM subdivisions. Post-hoc analysis revealed that following the posterior branch, the anterior branch showed greater activation during PD and SL exercises, while the middle branch showed greater activation during FFP, WP, and HH exercises (p < 0.05). Conclusions Different gluteus medius strengthening exercises preferentially target specific branches of the muscle. These findings can guide clinicians in selecting appropriate exercises to target specific GM subdivisions based on individual rehabilitation needs.
