This is going to be a video on the Trendelenburg sign for hip instability and hip abductor weakness. Ask your patient to stand on one leg; you can hold onto something if they experience problems with balance. Normally, the pelvis on the opposite side should rise a little, like in this case. If the pelvis on the opposite side drops, however,

we are talking about a positive Trendelenburg sign, which can be an indicator for weak hip abductors on the standing leg or an unstable hip due to hip dislocation, for example. Okay, this was our video on the Trendelenburg sign. I hope you enjoyed this video; if you did, give it a thumbs up and check out our webpage at Physiotutors.com.

If you want to know how to assess the muscle strength of other muscles around the hip, make sure to check out our video on isometric testing of the hip right here, or watch any other hip-related video right here. See you next time. Bye.
