Gait Analysis in Neurologic Disorders

open access: yesNeurology
Gait and balance disorders are a leading cause of morbidity, mortality, and disability in central and peripheral neurologic disorders. Neurologic gait disorders are classically evaluated with a clinical examination and visual pattern recognition. Gait patterns such as a parkinsonian or ataxic gait may have distinct etiologies and are assessed using the

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.

Prevalence of gait disorders in hospitalized neurological patients

Movement Disorders, 2004
AbstractThe prevalence of gait disorders among neurological inpatients is unknown, although disturbed gait is a common symptom. Gait disorders often lead to loss of independence with restraints for the patients and caregivers and costs for the health system.

Geriatric Neurological Gait Disorders

2017
In this chapter we provide the practitioner a schema for understanding geriatric gait and balance disorders. Distinguishing acute and chronic gait disorders is an important initial step because acute-onset gait disturbance has a limited differential including musculoskeletal injuries, vascular insults, vertigo and delirium.

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.

Human gait and posture analysis for diagnosing neurological disorders

Proceedings 2000 International Conference on Image Processing (Cat. No.00CH37101), 2000
This paper describes a number of new techniques to enhance the performance of a video analysis system, free from motion markers and complicated setup procedures, for the purpose of quantitatively identifying gait abnormalities in static human posture analysis.

[Options for the symptomatic treatment of chronic neurological gait disorders].

Fortschritte der Neurologie-Psychiatrie, 2021
Gait and mobility impairments are common and relevant in patients with chronic neurological disorders. It reduces the health-related quality of life and induces falls with morbidity. Symptomatic treatment options are therefore necessary in order to improve the health status of patients with neurological disorders.By means of a selective literature ...

[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.
