Why is pelvis center of gravity?

What class of lever is being used wh abduction of the hip occurs?

The gluteus medius and minimus abduct the hip joint. When you are standing on the right foot, the body tends to till towards the left side. The right gluteus med and min abduct to pull the body towards the right side. This way, our balance is maintained. In this situation, (1) it is the pelvis rather than the thigh that is abducted; (this causes the trunk to flex towards the right); (2) the pivot is the right hip joint; (3) the force is the outward and downward pull of the right gluteal muscles on the pelvis; and (4) the load is the body weight. It is a Class 1 lever mechanism. (An illustration in a general Anatomical Atlas from a popular Germany publisher appears wrong.) When you are walking, the right gluteus med and min abduct to raise your right foot. In this situation, (1) the pivot is again the right hip joint; (2) the force is the outward and upward pull on the thigh; (3) the load is the weight of the right thigh, leg and foot. The insertion of the muscles are very near the hip joint, whereas the centre of gravity of the lower limb should be farther await from it. It is presumably a Class 3 lever mechanism.

What is the description for the pelvis?

The pelvis forms a junction of the spine, and its continuation the coccyx; and the two lower limbs. Earlier in evolution, the coccyx was an important balance item - consider the tail structure in many dinosaur and even in kangaroos and climbing animals.In humans it also forms a convenient basin to help contain the abdominal contents, but most mammals get by with just muscular webs to serve this function.

What is a lurching gait?

when the glutei medius and minimus are paralysed, the patient cannot walk normally. he sways or waddles on one side to clear the opposite foot of the ground. if this is unilateral it is called lurching gait. suppose you are standing on only one limb say right. the right side of the pelvis is hence supported but the left side still remains unsupported. the pelvis of the left side has a tendency to drop as a result of gravity. this is prevented by the glutei medius and minimus of the left side. this is the abductor mechanism of the glutei muscles.
