Physiotherapist Morgan Deegan demonstrates glute activation assessment techniques using non-weight bearing exercises. These tests are applicable for clients with hip issues, running assessments, knee, and lower limb injuries due to their importance in the kinetic chain.

The first exercise involves lifting the leg while lying on the stomach to observe compensation through the back, hamstring activity, and glute activation. A side-lying glute medius test follows to evaluate glute engagement. Finally, a hip rotator test is performed to assess the glute strength and its ability to maintain leg lift without thigh compensation.
