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.

What is the different between lurching gait and waddling gait and What its mean with unilateral and bilateral?
A lurching gait typically involves unsteady, jerky movements with an irregular rhythm, often due to balance or coordination issues. In contrast, a waddling gait involves a swaying side-to-side motion while walking, often seen in conditions affecting the hips or pelvis. "Unilateral" refers to something that affects only one side of the body, while "bilateral" refers to something that affects both sides equally. In terms of gait, unilateral issues may lead to a unique pattern of walking on one side, while bilateral issues will impact both sides of the body during movement.
