Pathophysiology of Gait Disturbance in Neurologic Disorders and Clinical Presentations

Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinics of North America, 2013
Ambulation requires significant motor coordination. Because of inherent differences in body proportions, level of coordination, motivation, and other factors, each individual gait pattern is unique. However, despite the existence of these individual differences that contribute to each person's own unique walking style, there are highly repeatable gait ...

Falls and gait disorders in geriatric neurology

Clinical Neurology and Neurosurgery, 2010
Gait disturbances are frequent in older patients and lead to immobility, falls, and increased mortality. In gerontoneurologic patients a higher prevalence of risk factors for gait disturbances and falls has to be attributed due to neurodegenerative diseases, dementia, delirium, or psychotropic medication.

Neurologic disorders of gait

Current Neurology and Neuroscience Reports, 2001
Gait disorders are important because of their prevalence, particularly among the elderly, and the associated risk of falls and injury. Neural networks that organize locomotion and maintain balance are briefly reviewed. Gait disorders can be classified based on observational features or by etiology. Several common disorders are discussed in more detail.

[Functional neurological disorders: gait and movement disorders].

Revue medicale de Liege, 2023
Functional neurological disorders consist of a group of neurological symptoms and syndromes for which a known "organic" cause cannot be identified. They still represent one of the most difficult diagnostic challenge for the neurologist, who can only rely on clinical criteria.
