Myopathic gait
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Waddling gait)
Template:Infobox medical condition (new) Myopathic gait (or waddling gait) is a form of gait abnormality.
The "waddling" is due to the weakness of the proximal muscles of the pelvic girdle.[1]
The patient uses circumduction to compensate for gluteal weakness.[2]
Conditions associated with a myopathic gait include pregnancy, congenital hip dysplasia, muscular dystrophies and spinal muscular atrophy.
