Trendelenburg's test of function of the hip joint was first reported before radiology was available. At least four methods of performing it have since been described in the literature. We examined 50 normal subjects and 103 people with disorders affecting either the spine or the hip, in order to determine the different responses that occurred when they were asked to stand on one leg. This has e...

We studied prospectively 81 consecutive patients undergoing hip surgery using the Hardinge (1982) approach. The abductor muscles of the hip in these patients were assessed electrophysiologically and clinically by the modified Trendelenburg test. Power was measured using a force plate. We performed assessment at two weeks, and at three and nine months after operation. At two weeks we found that ...

CONTEXT Hip abductor muscle weakness is related to many lower extremity injuries. A simple procedure, the Trendelenburg test, may be used to assess hip abductor performance in patient populations. OBJECTIVE To describe the minimal detectable change (MDC) in pelvic-on-femoral (P-O-F) position of the stance limb during the Trendelenburg test. SETTING Laboratory. PARTICIPANTS 45 healthy wome...

INTRODUCTION The disruption of the abductor muscles of the hip after hip revision surgery often causes limping, pain, and instability of the implant. The purpose of our paper is to describe a mesh technique to repair hip abductor mechanism injuries after hip revision. PATIENTS AND METHODS Forty-six patients with hip abductor damage after prosthetic revision were treated. Inclusion criteria we...

BACKGROUND It remains to be elucidated whether the Trendelenburg position increases intracranial pressure (ICP). ICP can be evaluated by measuring the sonographic optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD). We investigated the effect of the isolated Trendelenburg position on ONSD in patients undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy. Additionally, we evaluated the effect of the Trend...

background: obtaining a good sensory and motor block is the goal of performing spinal anesthesia for surgeries. the aim of this study is to compare the effect of trendelenburg position on sensory block level after spinal anesthesia with intrathecal hyperbaric bupivacine. methods: we enrolled 80 men, classified as asa i, scheduled for elective hernia repair under spinal anesthesia. participants ...

BACKGROUND Predicting fluid responsiveness may help to avoid unnecessary fluid administration during acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of the following methods to predict fluid responsiveness in ARDS patients under protective ventilation in the prone position: cardiac index variation during a Trendelenburg maneuver, card...
