Sideward trunk lean that is consistent or predictable to the side of the stance leg may be a strategy to reduce joint pain due to hip arthritis or, less commonly, knee arthritis (antalgic gait). In a hemiparetic gait, the trunk may lean to the strong side. In this pattern, t...

In conclusion, we believe that we have proved that the limp of coxalgia is a limp of escape, a limp of defense by antalgic reflex.The antalgic gait, it should be noted, is not associated exclusively with coxalgia. It is seen in all conditions causing instability of the hip. It is...
Of course, it is critical to evaluate patients for non-neurologic features such as arthritis, limitation of motion, pain (antalgic gait), and asymmetries of leg length. A number of important observations have implications for the differential diagnosis (Nutt et al., 1993): Weakness: Weakness ...
