  • Yes, and there is pulling up of the ribcage on the opposite side, so the same side hip can drop, while the opposite side is pulled up, making it appear that there is not even a drop, there could be a lift on the same side actually. Hope i made myself clear.

  • @famnel1 So what you're saying is the glute medius is still the culprit if the weight bearing side drops during the Trendelenburg test?

  • i been having stroke for 7 mths now teach me how to walk in a correct way

  • @bryn93 maybe the compensated pattern, either you drop on the opposite side, or you "drop" on the weightbearing leg (actually lifting the oppisite side) to compensate for the weakness.

  • It doesn't matter - you're testing the ability of hip abductors to support the pelvis, so you technically just need the patient to lift their foot off the ground.

  • Do you know what it means for the supported hip to sink under load? Could that be the psoas?

  • thanks a lot...can u also post how a trendelenburg patient would walk?
