Gluteus medius.

Must confess I looked it up. Since I am not a PT, I have seen this kind of gait without calling it by a specific name. But the results of further musculoskeletal asssessment always pointed to gluteus medius.

Now the key question is name three ways of strengthening the gluteus medius..
So we are taking an biomechanical/Functional anatomy question and going further to a movement analysis question even deeper…
