Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -If the limp is severe, there is compensatory bending or lurching to the side of pathology to balance the center of gravity of the body. This limp is called the lurching gait. When the pathology is bilateral, the pelvis droops to the unsupported side alternating with each step and is called a waddling type of gait.
Detailed explanation-2: -This type of walking pattern is named after German surgeon Friedrich Trendelenburg. He first reported this gait in 1895 after developing a physical exam that identified weakness in the hip abductor muscles.
Detailed explanation-3: -Trendelenburg gait is not a true waddling gait. Our search strategy limited our results to ‘waddling’ caused by single conditions.
