gluteus minimus

The gluteus minimus is the smallest of the three gluteal muscles and is located beneath the gluteus maximus.

The gluteus minimus is recruited during hip abduction and lateral abduction, and is therefore actively engaged during the use of the standing leg abduction using a low cable pulley and the seated leg abduction machine.
