Trendelenburg gait, Duchenne gait, small steppage gait, circumduction gait, and the like are typical examplesof abnormal gait in walking motion. Hemiplegic patients with cerebrovascular disorders may show theDuchenne phenomenon during the stance phase of the non-paretic side in gait, and we hypothesized that it isa compensatory movement. We describe the impairment that causes the Duchenne phenomenon and explainthe interpretation of its movements. When considering compensatory movement of gait, we suggest that it isnecessary to perceive the motion three-dimensionally, as well as consider the phase of motion before and afterthis movement.
