| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Muscle activation of the gluteus medius The activation of the gluteus medius of the operated and non-operated limb will be evaluated by means of surface electromyography. For the study, an electromyograph of the Miotec brand (Miotec Equipamentos biomédicos LTDA, Porto Alegre, RS, Brazil), calibrated with 1000-fold gain, 10Hz high-pass filter, 500Hz low-pass filter and 60 notch filter Hz. The sampling frequency used shall be 2000 Hz. The electrodes shall be positioned bilaterally at 50% of the antero-superior iliac spine line to the greater trochanter, 3 cm apart, and the reference electrode shall be positioned over the process of the ulna (SENIAM, 2017). Data regarding the median frequency, neuromuscular efficiency (NME) and the index of activation of the gluteus medius muscle will be collected, and in this study the mean value of the root mean square (RMS) will be used. In what will be considered significant results, those that obtained increased efficiency and activation of the gluteus medius in the study period (6 weeks), verified by means of the test of analysis of two-way variance from the finding of a variation of at least 5% in pre and post-intervention measurements. | — |
