A video of 78-year-old U.S. President Donald Trump walking awkwardly and dragging his leg was posted on social media, reigniting concerns about his health. This follows similar speculation during his presidential campaign last year, when he was seen limping with his right leg.

The video, recorded on March 2 at Florida’s Mar-a-Lago resort golf course, captures Trump struggling to get off a golf cart. His right leg is noticeably bent, and he continues to drag it for several steps after putting his foot on the ground.

The video was allegedly filmed by a company staff managing the Mar-a-Lago resort property.

Some experts have speculated that Trump’s leg strength may have weakened.

Arun Gray, a British sports medicine scientist and injury rehabilitation specialist, told the Daily Mail, “Both of Trump’s knees appear to bend inward.”

Gray noted that Trump’s height may be causing him to experience knee issues associated with ‘knock knee,’ a condition relatively common among taller individuals or those with weak gluteal muscles. He explained that this condition could increase stress on the inner knee, potentially raising the risk of arthritis or causing back pain.

Knock knee is a condition where the knees do not touch each other when standing straight, causing the legs to form an X-shape and the ankles to turn outward.

Gray also noted the possibility of gluteal dysfunction based on Trump’s gait in the video.

Furthermore, Gray explained that Trump’s walk, which slightly sways from side to side, can often indicate gluteal dysfunction. He noted that considering Trump’s lifestyle, which includes long travels, sitting in meetings for extended periods, and relying on golf carts rather than walking, muscle weakening and a lack of physical activity may have affected his movement patterns.

Some have raised concerns that Trump’s leg could be showing typical symptoms of neurodegenerative diseases such as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) or Multiple Sclerosis.

Dr. Veronika Matutyte suggested that Trump may be suffering from lumbar spinal stenosis. This condition is common in older adults and can lead to nerve compression, weakened legs, and difficulty walking.
