If an individual has a weak gluteus medius:
 
  a. The hip joint compression forces are greater during single limb stance, which can lead to joint degeneration.
  b. He or she will rarely present with a Trendelenburg gait.
  c. He or she will often shift the trunk over the hip to eliminate the force the gluteus medius needs to produce for single limb stance.
  d. Using a cane on the ipsilateral side is a good way to address the weakness.
