What compensation will not be seen in a client with a weak gluteus maximus muscle?
  1. Knees fall inward during overhead squat
  2. Feet turn out during overhead squat
  3. Excessive forward lean during overhead squat
  4. Low back arches during overhead squat
Explanation
Answer - B - All of these compensations could likely occur in a client with weak gluteus maximus muscles except the feet turning outward during the overhead squat. This compensation would indicate various other muscles being weak (popliteus, Sartorius, gracilis, medial gastrocnemius, and hamstrings), but not the gluteus maximus.
