“Patient walks with a waddling gait”
—From https://www.healthline.com/health/waddling-gait#other-causes“Waddling gait, also known as myopathic gait, is a way of walking. It’s caused by muscle weakness in the pelvic girdle, which is a bowl-shaped network of muscles and bones that connects your torso to your hips and legs. It’s also responsible for helping you balance.
If you have a weak pelvic girdle, it’s harder to balance when walking. As a result, your body swings from side to side to keep you from falling. Your hips may also dip on one side as you walk.”
I asked Tim to get some video of my gait to use as a comparison over the next few weeks — so I can see what kind of progress I make. But also to use in my comeback video!
