What is "dead hip syndrome"? What can cause "dead hip syndrome"?

Some people are alive, but their asses are "dead"? Have you ever heard of dead hip syndrome? Recently, this topic has been hotly searched, which has attracted the attention of many netizens ~

In fact, this is a disease, also known as gluteal amnesia. But this kind of amnesia is not funny, because it will make the buttocks flat and loose, which will not only affect the appearance, but also affect the function of other parts.

What exactly is "dead hip syndrome"?

Gluteal amnesia is the weakness of gluteal muscles. When some activities need gluteus muscle, the body will forget how to activate it correctly. On the contrary, other muscles perform compensatory activities. Medically, this is called "gluteal muscle amnesia" and "dead hip syndrome".

In layman's terms, it is that the gluteal muscles are too tight for a long time when sedentary or exercising. When we need it, it is like "amnesia", which eventually leads to pain in the back, hip and knee.

What is the cause of "dead hip syndrome"?

Usually, the cause of this disease is sedentary. But this disease can also occur in athletes such as track and field athletes and motorcycle riders. The main reason is that hip flexors become nervous when running and jumping repeatedly. When the gluteal muscle strength is insufficient, the muscles in other parts will be overstretched, which will eventually lead to the occurrence of dead hip syndrome. Another possibility is that choosing the wrong exercise action, or carrying out the exercise action incorrectly, can also cause this disease.

People who have experienced "dead hip syndrome" may have a feeling that their hips are "asleep". Then it becomes serious slowly, either temporarily or permanently.

Speaking of which, some netizens may be curious, so how do you know you have this disease? I collected some information. Let's see:

First, if you don't exercise often and sit often, you are at greater risk of getting this disease. Because the main cause of this disease is lack of exercise. Second, if your hip muscles are often tense, you may get this disease. Another reason is that, as mentioned above, wrong movements and incorrect movements may also lead to this disease. For a small example, it is easier to understand:

Suppose you want to go to the gym now, and do some hard pulls and squats seriously. In this process, you constantly increase the training weight and want to strengthen the gluteus maximus. Results The next day, you didn't feel any pain in your hips, but your back and hamstring muscles (that is, the muscles behind your thighs) were tight, and your quadriceps (that is, right in front of your thighs) felt sore, indicating that symptoms had appeared.

If you still don't understand, I'll teach you a self-test method and do a squat in front of the mirror. If you have gluteal amnesia, your knee will bend when you squat, which is often called X-leg, pelvis leaning forward, and lumbar spine bending excessively. In the end, if you are still not sure, then go to the doctor for examination.

Having said that, everyone has a good understanding. Now, let's talk briefly about how to prevent dead hip syndrome.

Experts suggest that the best way to prevent dead hip syndrome is to keep the body moving properly. If you sit for a long time, I suggest you stand up, stretch and walk around from time to time. That is, get up and exercise every 1 hour 10 minute, and reactivate the gluteus muscles to prevent them from falling asleep.

Another thing to note is that for people who exercise regularly, stretching before and after exercise is also the key to avoid hip amnesia, especially for long-distance runners and cyclists who need to stretch hip flexors. These actions should not be ignored.
