Abstract	This short review explores how failures related to the fulcrum, lever, and effort of the hip joint contribute to the development of a positive Trendelenburg sign and gait. It highlights the anatomy and biomechanics of the hip joint, emphasising its function as a first-class lever essential for lower limb activities such as walking. The review discusses how various pathologies affecting the hip joint’s lever arm, fulcrum, and effort can lead to instability and compensatory gait patterns. By understanding the biomechanical principles and anatomical structures involved, healthcare professionals can devise effective interventions aimed at restoring normal hip function and improving patient outcomes.
