Closed kinetic chain facilitation of the gluteal muscles:

With the patient’s arms at their sides instruct the patient to advance the right leg as far forward as possible keeping their right foot approximately an inch off the floor as they bend the left knee.
The patient then reaches back as far as they can with the right foot staying an inch off the floor.
Then ask the patient to reach with their right foot out to the side and finally to draw a star taking the right foot behind and to the left and forward to the right and finally back to the right keeping the right foot an inch off the floor each time and bending their left knee as far as possible.
Repeat in each direction 4 to 5 times, then repeat standing on the right leg.
Make sure to watch for any valgus deviation of the stance knee during this retraining, which should be avoided.
