Background: Patients and athletes with diminished gluteal muscle activation are thought to have 'gluteal inhibition'. This may be a component of arthrogenic neuromuscular inhibition, which has been well documented in the knee and generalized to all joints. While clinical evidence surrounding gluteal inhibition increases, supportive research is non-existent. This study investigated whether arthrogenic neuromuscular inhibition occurred about the hip following instillation of intra-articular fluid during functional hip extension tasks.Methods: Data was collected in a biomechanics laboratory (control) and hospital setting (intervention). Nine healthy individuals (4M/5F) comprised the control group. The intervention group contained twelve patients (4M/8F) with hip pathology requiring a magnetic resonance arthrogram (capsular distension via intra-articular fluid injection) procedure. The participants performed a pelvic bridge (PB) and active hip extension (EXT) before and after the control time or injection. Peak EMG from the gluteus maximus (GM) was collected bilaterally.Findings: The findings of this study provide substantial support for arthrogenic inhibition following hip intra-articular fluid instillation during functional tasks. Two-way repeated measures ANOVA revealed a significant group by session interaction effect (PB,EXT: affected/unaffected = 0.0192/0.9654 P=0.05,
