Q

What is a positive Trendelenburg sign? What does this indicate?

A
  • During the stance phase, the opposite abductor muscles (gluteus medius and minimis) normally serve to prevent the pelvis from tilting down, both hips should be maintained at the same level.
  • Positive sign = weak abductor muscles of the hip supplied by the superior gluteal nerve or damage to the nerve
  • These individuals have waddling/hip steppage or swing out gait
