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.
