Walking is an extraordinarily complex task requiring integration of the entire nervous system, making gait susceptible to a variety of underlying neurologic abnormalities. Gait disorders are particularly prevalent in the elderly and increase fall risk. In this review we discuss an approach to the examination of gait and highlight key features of common

Higher level gait disorders are common in the elderly. The pathophysiology of these gait disorders is poorly understood, and the nomenclature used to describe them is confusing and the subject of ongoing debate. It is suggested that higher level gait disorders can be explained in terms of breakdown in the organization of equilibrium and locomotion.

As a child matures so does the child's gait pattern. Gait changes in pediatric patients will be expected and sequential as developmental milestones. Gait changes may also represent normal variations along an appropriate spectrum. There are times when changes in gait are due to urgent orthopedic or medical conditions, and those should not be overlooked.

Normal gait requires the dynamic integration of central and peripheral nervous systems acting on an intact musculoskeletal framework. A number of specific disease processes, as well as aging, may compromise this interaction. Despite the complexity of human gait, most common gait disorders can be identified by the experienced clinician, using the ...

This article provides insight and reviews useful tools for the clinical assessment, understanding, and management of neurologic gait disorders.In recent years, our understanding of the physiology of human walking has steadily increased. The recognition of gait as a complex, "higher-order" form of motor behavior with prominent influence of mental ...

Gait disorders are frequently accompanied by loss of balance and falls, and are a common cause of disability, particularly among the elderly. In many cases the cause is multifactorial, involving both neurologic and nonneurologic systems. Physical therapy and training, coupled with pharmacologic and surgical therapy, can usually provide some improvement

Disorders of gait and mobility are common neurologic abnormalities of aging and can have disastrous consequences. Etiology is multifactorial, and normal age-related changes are difficult to distinguish from those resulting from the disease.Gait evaluation with special techniques provides scientific understanding of physiologic mechanisms, but ...

Psychogenic disorders of posture and gait are common and are the major manifestation in 8 to 10% of patients with psychogenic movement disorders. The colorful history of these disorders is reviewed. Anxiety and depression are the commonest psychological accompaniments of functional gait disorder in contemporary practice.

Gait disorders can be seen in a wide variety of neurologic, musculoskeletal, and medical problems. In all cases, careful examination of gait and balance is paramount to the correct diagnosis. Ancillary gait laboratory analyses are helpful in some occasions.

ABSTRACT: Since disorders of gait may eventually deprive the aged person of his independence, they should be detected early and treated before the disability becomes irreversible. In the healthy aged, changes in gait may be caused by loss of joint mobility and a decline in the precision of neuromuscular control.
