An inhibited muscle means that the muscle is not firing properly (the neural signal is not reaching the muscle) and a weak muscle indicates the muscle is firing normally (not inhibited) but is lacking strength. A way to determine if the gluteal muscles are inhibited is to perform a prone hip extension test. To perform this test lie on a table face down and keeping the leg straight lift it up off the table. If on lifting the leg the knee significantly flexes or if a dipping is noted in the lumbar spine, indicating lumbar extension, the gluteal muscles are inhibited.
