From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. The Trendelenburg gait pattern (or gluteus medius lurch) is an abnormal gait (as with walking) caused by weakness of the abductor muscles of the lower limb, gluteus medius and gluteus minimus.People with a lesion of superior gluteal nerve have weakness of abducting the thigh at the hip.This type of gait may also be seen in L5 radiculopathy and after poliomyelitis, but is then usually seen in combination with foot drop.his gait may be caused by cleidocranial dysostosis. Biofeedback and physical therapy have been used in treatment. When the hip abductor muscles (gluteus medius and minimus) are weak, the stabilizing effect of these muscles during gait is lost.
