Question

question 50 (mandatory) (2 points) listen unilateral weakness of the gluteal muscle will lead to which type of gait? a) parkinson gait b) circumduction gait c) trendelenburg gait d) waddling gait

Explanation:

• Parkinson Gait is associated with Parkinson's disease, characterized by shuffling.
• Circumduction Gait involves swinging the leg in a circle, seen in hip/knee issues.
• Trendelenburg Gait occurs due to unilateral gluteal muscle weakness (e.g., from hip abductor weakness), causing the pelvis to drop on the opposite side.
• Waddling Gait is bilateral, seen in conditions like muscular dystrophy. So the correct answer relates to gluteal weakness.

Answer:

c) Trendelenburg Gait
