The vertical solid line in each figure shows the force of gravity equal to approximately 19% body mass
The horizontal, broken line represents the length of the external moment arm for each exercise. The arrows depict the rotary motion produced by the hip abductors to lift the right lower extremity. .
NWB standing hip abduction exercises required the least activation, benefit patients who cannot safely perform the WB or sidelying hip abd.
Weight BearingWeight Bearing
The vertical, solid line shows the force of gravity equal to approximately 84% body mass (mass of the head, trunk, arms, and left lower extremity).
The horizontal, broken linet th t lrepresents the external
moment arm for that mass. The arrow depicts the rotary motion produced by the hip abductors to maintain a level pelvis, which required greater EMG activity than non–weight-bearing exercise

Changes in the length of the external moment arm based on the magnitude of right trunk lean.
Right trunk lean maintain balance on the right lower extremity when abducting the left leg
Trunk lean may reduce the external torque applied to the right hip. The vertical lines represent the force of gravity; the horizontalthe force of gravity; the horizontal lines represent the external moment arm.
length of the external moment arm has shortened with exaggerated right trunk lean, decreased demands for the right hip abductors to maintain a level pelvis
(A) With the pelvis level, the resultant ground reaction force vector passes medial to the knee joint center, thereby creating a varus moment at the knee.
(B) Hip abductor weakness t l t l

can cause a contra-lateral pelvic drop and a shift in the center of mass away from the stance limb. This increases the varus moment at the knee
(C) Shifting the center of mass over the stance limb to compensate for hip abductor weakness can create a knee valgus moment
The ground reaction force vector passes lateral with respect to the knee joint center.
