'''Gowers's sign''' is a [[medical sign]] that indicates [[weakness]] of the [[Anatomical terms of location#Proximal and distal|proximal]] [[muscle]]s, namely those of the [[lower limb]].  The sign describes a patient that has to use their hands and arms to "walk" up their own body from a [[squatting position]] due to lack of hip and thigh muscle strength.

It is named after [[William Richard Gowers]].<ref>{{WhoNamedIt|synd|1228}}</ref><ref>W. R. Gowers. A manual of the nervous system. Philadelphia; 2nd edition, volume 1, 1895.</ref>
__TOC__
==Associations==
Gowers's sign is classically seen in [[Duchenne muscular dystrophy]] where it is mostly evident at 4–6 years, but also presents itself in [[centronuclear myopathy]], [[myotonic dystrophy]] and various other conditions associated with proximal muscle weakness, including [[Becker's muscular dystrophy|Becker muscular dystrophy]], [[dermatomyositis]] and [[Glycogen storage disease type II|Pompe disease]]. For this maneuver, the patient is placed on the floor away from any objects that could otherwise be used to pull oneself to a standing position. It is also used in testing paraplegia.{{cn|date=August 2021}}
