Trendelenburg gait is an abnormal gait resulting from a defective hip abductor mechanism. The primary muscle group involved is the gluteal musculature, including the gluteus medius and minimus muscles. The weakness of these muscles causes drooping of the pelvis to the contralateral side while walking. The other causes will include any local hip pathology that may result in an impaired hip abduction and sagging of the contralateral hip.This activity explores the multifaceted causes and underlying pathophysiology of Trendelenburg gait, showing how diverse hip and proximal femoral pathologies can contribute to this clinical presentation. Participants gain a thorough grasp of the intricacies surrounding Trendelenburg gait, gaining the knowledge needed for accurate diagnosis and effective management. Moreover, this educational activity extends beyond clinical insight, underscoring the vital role of interprofessional collaboration in managing patients with Trendelenburg gait. Healthcare professionals from various specialties must work cohesively to ensure patients receive well-coordinated care, optimizing their prospects for improved outcomes.
