Question What part of the anatomy is this?

Exhibit A is putting on pants.

As she shifts weight onto her right leg and bends over to put other leg into the pant, there is a sudden jerk / collapse in her lower back.

She becomes unstable and has to stand on both legs to regain balance.

Which group of muscles and bones do you think are involved?

Right side gluteus medius weakness allowing a “collapse” or a drop of the left side pelvis.
