A person came to you with complaint of right hip pain. His age was 45 years. He has a history of right hemiplegia (right sided paralysis) one year back. Manual muscle testing of hip flexors was Grade 4, hip extensors Grade 5 and hip abductors Grade 3. While assessing his gait pattern his left pelvis dropped with every step. His X-ray of hip, knee and ankle showed normal alignments with mild signs of osteoarthritis. 1. What would be the possible diagnosis? 2. Which muscle groups are most likely to be weak that are causing this problem? Writedown the names of muscles. 3. Which test would you perform to confirm your diagnosis?
