Do You Waddle Side to Side when walking? (Trendelenburg gait) How to FIX!! UPDATED

Same here in BANDON OREGON at southwest physical therapy, they are horribly incomplete in their assessments and treatments. How do these incompetents stay under the radar? Horrible

The PT aides are not supposed to diagnose or give individual medical advice: it is a legal issue. (And, you're right, many of them don't know much--so it's probably just as well.)

Dear Bob and Brad, I am 48 and I waddle a whole lot when walking because of some excruciating left hip pain. My osteopath gave me some exercises to do and I am doing them and it is getting better, but I went on a vacation last week and felt so embarrassed walking around the resort with the waddle. People would ask me: "Oh, you have a leg problem, need help?"... I felt like I was 100 years old. I have been home during the whole pandemic and never noticed I had this waddle before or it wasn't as pronounced. I will now try your exercises and hopefully get some strength back in my hip joint and try to stop this waddle. Thank you!!

@@SwimminWitDaFishies it is a treadmill where you are enclosed from the waist down in a type of suit zipped to you waist. You get on it, it weighs you then air is blown into the suit. When the air is in the suit it takes some weight off of your spine, they put enough air in the suit for me that reduces 50 percent of my weight off my lumbar. Then I walk for 15 minutes. After the decompression table it helps to stabilize you back after being stretched. Feel light as air afterwards for about 5 minutes, then your normal walking puts the weight back on the lumbar different but it really helps after being stretched to ease the back so you don’t hurt so bad

Learning to walk again after trimalleolar ankle break. These are very helpful tips. Thank you 😊

I see you do sidestep with a band, that is good for that extra, but if folk just start to train after a long time of inactivity then "hands on the hip, side step to the left and bak to the right and repeat" can also work well before you start with a band. It is the same but you just start to make the muscle more used to that move before you use the bands.

[@anyascelticcreations]

I actually feel better when I do let myself waddle a little. Both sides. I've had hip pain for many years and found that forcing myself to walk straight was causing pain. Relaxing a little and allowing my gate to look imperfect was actually a huge relief to me. My actual hip joints are unstable, so I think I was creating micro tears by forcing them not to move as much. With a slight wabble to both sides I seem to be mostly okay.

[@lisarice4402]

Mine came from trauma induced scoliosis from a car wreck … I do a lot of resting with my legs elevated to help with the pain. Custom arches and a heel lift work as well as they can for my leg length difference while I am walking …

[@anyascelticcreations]

@@lisarice4402 I'm sorry that you hurt, too. Hugs. I also have scoliosis. And I also spend most of my time with my legs elevated with a heating pad under my back to help with the pain. Standing in one place is excruciating to my low back, so I avoid it. At least my hips don't hurt anymore, though, now that I allow the slight wobble. I feel better not taking as long of strides, too. Looking perfect is overrated if it causes more pain. 🤗

[@lisarice4402]

I’m not looking perfect. My leg length difference is an inch, with my left leg being shorter than the right one, because of the damage done to my back. I have to use these just to be able to grocery shop and handle small tasks outside my residence. I cannot sit in one of those motorized carts because of the damage that was done to my pelvis. I assure you, nothing I am having to do is cosmetic - it is out of sheer need. My right hip is also wanting to “roll” out from underneath me a lot of the time, so I am extremely cautious when walking anywhere that doesn’t have, or allow cart usage. I do whatever I can to avoid falling, because I know that’s an unaffordable lengthy hospital stay, even with Medicare supplemental. Every step I take is measured so as not to fall. Thank you for your concern.

[@anyascelticcreations]

@@lisarice4402 Oh, I wasn't meaning it that way at all. I didn't feel in the slightest that you are doing any of what you do for cosmetic reasons. I was saying that it is okay if we don't walk quite like everyone else. I used to be concerned about walking pretty myself but gave up on that in favor of less pain. I was saying that it's okay to accept ourselves as we are, different walk and all. I didn't mean that I thought that you were trying to hide your injuries or anything. I assumed that you do what you do to try to help your injured body function better, not to change how you look. I meant that as encouragement to both of us to love ourselves even if we don't look like everyone else anymore. I'm so sorry that you suffer so much. I suffer a lot, too, but even I don't suffer as much as you do. I would never say anything mean to a fellow person in pain. Hugs.

[@lisarice4402]

I apologize for the way that came out - I also have a severe brain injury and everything that I say seems to come out as extremely blunt when it’s not meant that way. Lol I gave up “walking pretty” because it is too hard on my back … I think we both know what constant pain is all about. I wish for all of us going through constant pain days of way lesser degrees of pain - we definitely deserve that!! Hugs 🫂

[@wandaxxxx7406]

I was diagnosed with Trendelenburg in September of 2019. I was in therapy for a bilateral knee replacement. I was doing the exercises you showed plus extras. The limp was not going away and there was more pain in the hip and back. I had xrays taken of the hip. They discovered Scoliosis. They ramped up the therapy to eliminate the limp. It didn't get better and in the meantime I had an ablation on my back. Two weeks later I had an episode of severe pain which paralyzed my leg. The pain lasted 3 days. Then bruising on my upper leg. This happened 3 more times and I ended up in the ER. After 7 tubes of blood, 2 ultra sounds, X-rays, 2 more exams and finally an MRI, they found the problem. I have several tears in the abductor muscle, the gluteus minimus is torn off the hip and torn almost completely in half. The gluteus minimus also has several tears in it. My other leg also has several tears in the tendons and muscle. I can choose to have surgery with 3 months of rehab in a body brace and mostly bed rest. However I have to see an Endocrinologist first. There seems to be a metabolic issue. I had a shoulder replacement last year also. I am missing 4 tendons by the inside of my right ankle and now wear braces. I also have no ACL in my left leg and the one in the right leg is almost completely deteriorated. Is this something you have experienced in your years of therapy? I am on the fence about surgery because I am on Medicare and they won't pay for this. I don't want to burden my husband with having to take care of me during that 3 month period. I was told that absolutely no pressure on that leg for 3 months! I would be curious as to your thoughts. Thanks

[@nanettie]

You are worth taking care of, my friend. Every time you go into the hospital, request a visit from the hospital’s social worker. Then you can make sure you go home with all the services you need. Also, see if you can get a personal care attendant - it’s covered by insurance, or by a Medicaid, or by a state program for disabled or elderly people. The attendant can provide care after your surgery. I am sorry for what you have been through and I hope you have better days ahead of you!

Thank You B & B, you guys Rock! This video reminds me of my recent diagnosis of a leg length discrepancy. The first measurement taken by a pt was a half inch discrepancy. For some reason, she was unsure of the measurement so she called for a tech in prosthetics to do another one. For her measurements, she used a tape while I layed on my side. Then he used an appliance while I was standing that is like a level. His measurement came to an eighth of an inch. My feeling is that he was dismissing my complaint and suggested up to an eighth is normal. I understand that our bodies are not exactly symmetrical and would really like a third 'objective opinion'. What do you think?

Hi Darlene -- I can't answer your question, but I wanted to say that my sister had a leg length discrepancy due to a badly broken leg when she was a child.

I've had double hip replacement first one January 20th 2nd April 7th year 2022 I did more on my right side. I walk with a cane and when I got the cane in the right hand I slightly dip on the left side. Where are you guys located.

[@fnanette1]

My walker doesn’t go sideways well….nor does my leg want to lift! I’ll go back to trying the leg lift. Great video.

[@patturner9329]

PT doesn’t seem to be working after 5 weeks. Have pain on both sides of spine below waist. Have been doing all these exercises. Help!

[@lynnecobb9399]

I've always wondered what causes people to waddle...but mostly I see it waddling on Both sides!

[@annelanders2462]

I got Trendelenburg gait with my femur surgery. Will this fix without surgery?

[@ArwynPurisima]

I have a suggestion. You could put chapters in your videos because it makes it easier for viewers to skip to the parts they want to be and dont have to listen to the intro if they dont want to while the intro still being there

[@biondatiziana]

Great idea! I hope they see your comment. It's actually very easy to do.

[@vjowell]

Can you use ankle weights and do standing side leg lifts to achieve the same results? Thank you.

[@l.antoinetteanderson3736]

Not a PT here, but yrs ago as phys ed major/lots of sports for some decades; did alot of what we called in old days, "stretching/strenthening"...I havs used ankle wgts. and in my opinion that would work very nicely as long as you start very slowly (if you have not maintained some overall strength) with no wgts at all at first, and gradually introducing wgts of low amt. (I would also say to always work both sides, with the same wgt amts.) You will have to find the steps of increase for yourself, of course, being gentle to yourself and go slowly, small increments. Also, I would suggest doing no more than 3X/wk. Low wgt with increasing reps (start with even 5, very low wgt, up to 10) will be best at the beginning. I think a little soreness can be expected but it should not be too noticeable or debilitating and that is why you should have a day in between of rest. Also, there may be some good books (I go for used ones and even older written) that will be helpful.Keep a chart of your workouts - it's fun to see your progress over time, and how much more "bounce you have in your step"!

[@susansawarin5776]

If one waddled both directions, I assume that strengthening both sides is the prescription.

Hey thanks this is really helping me

[@lisag18]

Starts at 5:45. Up to that is good info, though. Some just want to skip through all the talking

[@GaryTarver]

How long does it take to correct a waddle.....im looking for a range nothing conceete.

[@BobandBrad]

The answer, unfortunately, depends on the cause and severity of the waddle. In mild cases, you can get a waddle better in 6 or so weeks. Sorry we cannot give you an exact range!

[@GaryTarver]

@@BobandBrad this is good enough. Thank you 😊

Just received the stretch band kit you offered on your channel.

[@BlueGoose-u5x]

You guys have an opinion you would share on the efficacy of spinal decompression?

[@patriciasweet151]

Hi guys avid watcher. Great info will be sharing. And thank you once again

[@goodintentions1302]

Would The Scoop, the lateral movement machine, help with this if you have access to one?

[@janicejacome]

Sometimes it's a slight size difference in length of legs!!!! There's someone u can put into shoe on the heel n it lifts slightly...did it for me. Also had hip replacement and knee so that could be the problem!

[@saozz]

My left side it’s the side who drop and I think it’s the weak side? Is that right?

[@Stewmade64]

Is it just as beneficial to use a Theraband in a static 30-60 second hold vs reps?

[@amyaaron7141]

I have that from IT band syndrome. How is it that the opposite side of the dropped hip side is the culprit?

[@gailremp8389]

I mentioned in one of your videos that I messed up one ear and when GuideWell was fixing boo boo, they also ‘cleaned out’ the good ear. I wobbled, held on…not terrible but not good. The nurse, John flushed out a pinkie-size piece of wax… resembled a dead. I want him in the next 20 I don’t love them. I don’t. I won’t. I do see people with this problem. But I also noticed some people really unsteady and I suggest go get your ears cleaned out before you get into the heavy stuff because it might be something deep deep deeply deep…thx

I am very concerned about Brad's slurred speech. Anyone else notice it? Brad, please slow down and/or have your slurred speech checked out to make sure you are okay. Worried about you. Love your channel. From Jerusalem, Israel

[@matthewlloyd2055]

Yes. This was my thought too. Please get this checked Brad if you haven't. Sending my best.

Im 52... I Had hip replacement 1 mo ago.l and have a Severe limp after 6 years of using a cane and walker. Due to my weight they wouldnt do my hip replacement until i lost enough finally. Im Doing Physical therapy but dont see much change, YET. Need some encouragement!

[@debbiec6216]

I been doing PT for the last 2 1/2 years ( off and on ) and believe me , it hasn't helped me at all. I hope the best for you . What we need is a person who will go out of their way to help even more. And it's hard to found anyone , if you don' t know where to look . 100% serious here. I get to wonder if Trendelenburg Gait can be fixed or not !!!!
