| Video Discription | While most people spend countless hours in the gym performing squats, lunges, deadlifts, and planks to strengthen their sagittal and frontal plane muscles, relatively few focus on the small but extremely important transverse plane stabilizing muscles. One of the most important transverse plane muscles is the popliteus. Often referred to as “the key to the knee,” this muscle runs from the upper outer aspect of the femur and inserts along the inner side of the upper tibia. Because popliteus traverses the back of the knee at a 45° angle, it has the unique ability to stabilize the knee against twisting actions. Another significant transverse plane stabilizer that protects the knee is the semimembranosus muscle. Because the lower portion of semimembranosus has a firm attachment to the medial meniscus, it is able to pull the medial meniscus posteriorly as the knee flexes, which prevents the posterior horn of the medial meniscus from being torn when the knee flexes rapidly. The lower fibers of semimembranosus work hand-in-hand with the popliteus muscles to control rotational movements at the knee. Precise control of rotational movements between the tibia and femur is necessary to prevent horizontal tears of the menisci, which occur when the femur twists excessively on the tibia. Perhaps the most significant transverse plane stabilizers of the lower extremity are in the hip. A growing body of research confirms that these small but powerful muscles play an underappreciated role in preventing injuries throughout the entire lower extremity. Early research showed that weakness of the hip rotators correlated strongly with foot and ankle injuries, while more recent research shows that hip rotator weakness is one of the single best predictors of ACL tears in athletes. In fact, a study out of Iran involving over 530 athletes showed that athletes with hip rotator weakness were 7 times more likely to tear their anterior cruciate ligament in a single season. The most likely mechanism is that hip rotator weakness allows the knee to collapse inward, which is a proven predictor of ACL injuries. Hip rotator weakness is especially problematic if combined with semimembranosus weakness, as the semimembranosus is a powerful stabilizer of the anterior cruciate ligament. Additionally, because these muscles reinforce the femoral neck, they help protect against femoral neck stress fractures, and may even help prevent hip fractures associated with lateral falls in the elderly.

In 2011, Dr. Tom Michaud published a textbook entitled Human Locomotion that focused on examination, assessment, treatment and prevention of gait-related injuries. Dr. Michaud's textbook has sold over 15,000 copies and has been translated into four languages. Throughout his years in practice, Dr. Michaud has treated thousands of athletes and over time he's developed several products for exercise and rehab that are available on HumanLocomotion.com. The most popular product, the ToePro, is designed to strengthen the toes and muscles of the foot and ankle, and is an important tool for strengthening the toes (toe strength is the most important thing for balance as you age). Dr. Michaud's articles and videos feature topics that focus on rehabbing injuries such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, and peripheral neuropathy, and most recently maintaining balance, agility and strength for fall prevention.
