Trump's “sluggish leg” in viral golf video speaks healthy concerns, experts weigh

Arun Gray, a sports scientist based in Great Britain, suggested that Trump in a conversation with Daily Mail may have a knee (bilateral knee valgus), a state that is common in higher people and people with weak buttocks. Although it is generally harmless, it can contribute to knee stem, hip complaints and arthritis. However, other medical specialists pointed out more difficult opportunities.

Dr. Veronika Matutyte, a gerontological expert, speculated that Trump's lumbar spine stenosis, disorders after stroke or even a neuromuscular disorder such as Parkinson's disease could indicate. In the meantime, Dr. Rimas Geiga stated that the former president could have signs of peripheral neuropathy or a light cerebellar dysfunction that could influence the coordination, as reported by Daily Mail.

This is not the first time that Trump's mobility is examined. Videos from 2023 and early 2024 have recorded similar cases when he seemed to be lifted his leg, limp or with balance in rallies and public appearances. The discussion achieved traction in 2020 when he dragged his right leg during a visit to a laboratory in North Carolina.

Trump's campaign has vehemently refused health concerns and rejected speculation as a politically motivated attacks by opponents and the media.
