Pelvic drop in running



I have already posted an article with some studying tips and a file I have created with all the muscles of the lower extremities with origin, insertion, action and innervation. One of the first pathologies we learn in our education is a dropping pelvis due to weak hip abductors. A pathology that can be tested with the Trendelenburg test.

In this video you can clearly see a dropping pelvis while an athlete is running. Keep in mind that the week abductors are always on the side of the leg that touches the ground at the specific moment. In this case, it appears that both sides are affected.
