We made this video as medical students as a study aid to assist other students. We were trying to demonstrate the trendelenburg gait.

Impairment of gluteus medius and minimus. Suspected superior gluteal nerve damage.

  • The Trendelenburg gait is an abnormal gait caused by weakness of the abductor muscles of the lower limb, gluteus medius and gluteus minimus.During the stance phase, the weakened abductor muscles allow the pelvis to tilt down on the opposite side. To compensate, the trunk lurches to the weakened side to attempt to maintain a level pelvis throughout the gait cycle. Good Post, very helpful!!

  • Trendelenberg gait does not involve compensated lateral trunk movement.  This video is more accurately demonstrating gluteus medius gait. Same weakness of hip abductors but it's compensated with lateral lurch of the trunk to the involved side during mid-stance.

  • @kim8932 wow how rude

  • EVERYDAY I'M SHUFFLIN'!!!! LOL

    (Sorry, that was completely inappropriate, wasn't it?) *bangs head against medical textbooks*

  • Trendelenberg gait (TG) = gluteus medius gait (GMG) = Uncompensated TG/GMG which is characterised by contralateral pelvic drop. The video shows a COMPENSATED TG/GMG which involves lateral trunk flexion to position the body's centre of mass more optimally under the base of support. A compensated TG/GMG is a progression of the uncompensated, simply owing to weaker hip abductors.

  • It's like you guys are making jokes about this... ¬¬

  • This is an exaggeration of pelvic drop its not really good to watch might as well make something more educational

  • @S9KSY this video is misleading. It must be removed. I am a loser. I have nothing else to think about. It must be removed. This affects me greatly. Remove it at once

  • Trunk lean!!
