WAITING: THE TRENDENLENBURG SIGN


The Trendenlenburg sign is said to be positive if, when standing on one leg (e.g. the right leg), the pelvis drops on the opposite side of the body (left side of body). This is as a result of muscle weakness (of hip abductors) on the side of the stance leg (right leg).
Apart from muscular dysfunction, interestingly, this sign could also be positive if one is experiencing pain.
Waiting and deep reflection could cause deep thinking, depression, sagging of the shoulders, and probably pain. Sighing is also associated. As a matter of fact, it could result in premature ageing. However, positivity to this test may be prevented if one doesn’t reflect long enough to relive the pain felt at the time an event originally occurred.
This day, I would love you to take a deep breath, enjoy your day and ensure that you test negative for the Tredenlenburg’s sign.
And if you notice that you’re beginning to get drowned in worries, just tell yourself that you deserve to be happy and joyful, because you do!
Throw your head back and laugh.
Raising my glass to a negative Tredenlenburg’s test this weekend!
