Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Children with bilateral Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease tend to have a waddling gait due to the abduction and external rotation of the hips. This causes their gait to appear wider than normal, as they swing their legs out to the side to compensate for reduced range of motion in the hip joints.
