Detailed Answer:
Hello
I have read your query.
In antalgic gait stance phase time is reduced.
That means you are not putting more weight on that leg.
trendelenberg gait means when for example you stand on one leg only ,opposite pelvis droops down.
normally opposite pelvis should rise.
Trendelenberg gait indicates your abductor mechanism is weak.
