INDUSTRY TRENDS: Introducing the "Broken Wing Sign" for Gluteus Medius Pathology

The diagnosis of gluteus medius pathology—a major cause of lateral hip pain and functional decline—often relies on MRI. However, a new clinical maneuver is poised to become a reliable, accessible alternative.

The study by Sierra et al. (2025) introduces the "Broken Wing Sign," performed in prone with the knee flexed to 90° during active hip extension.

○ A positive sign (≥10 compensatory external rotation) indicates abductor weakness.

💡 This test is clinically valuable, proving easier to execute than the Trendelenburg sign, especially in patients with pain or poor balance. It's a powerful tool to streamline pre-operative planning and optimize MRI use.

Physiotherapy Meets AI!

Did you know the NHS has piloted an AI-powered physio app that cut waiting times by 44% for MSK cases and 55% for back pain patients—saving 856 clinician hours each month?

In Scotland, “Kirsty” the AI physio is already offering same-day virtual appointments—making care more accessible than ever.

But here’s the key:
AI is here to support, not replace physiotherapists.
●Smarter assessments
● Better monitoring
●Enhanced patient engagement

Clinical expertise will always remain at the heart of healing.

The future of physiotherapy is hybrid: human touch + tech innovation.

Many people believe that once you have a "bad back," you're stuck with it forever. This simply isn't true!

Physiotherapy can help you:

• Strengthen the muscles that support your spine.

• Improve your posture and movement patterns.

• Reduce pain and inflammation.

Don't let a myth hold you back from living a pain-free life. If you're struggling with back pain, talk to a physio!
