faiblesse en dérobade
French to English
Medical
Medical (general)
Context: A medical evaluation report on a worker who suffered a lumbar injury. The author of the report, an orthopedic surgeon, is reporting his findings.
Passage: “…il peut faire une flexion à 100 ° de la hanche droite et de la hanche gauche sans douleur. La force est à 5/5 à droite, mais le travailleur a une faiblesse en dérobade au niveau du psoas gauche. »
Is « giving-way » a suitable option for this expression, or is there a better one ? Thanks for your input.

giving way
This term appeared in the research paper cited under web references below and the Canadian doctor referred to it in French as "faiblesse en dérobade" and in English as "giving way." I don't think you need the hyphen but you can use it if you feel the need.
