There are eight basic pathological gaits that can be attributed to neurological conditions: hemiplegic, spastic diplegic, neuropathic, myopathic, Parkinsonian, choreiform, ataxic (cerebellar) and sensory.

Other types of gait abnormalities include: Ataxic gait: This type of gait occurs with cerebellar degeneration. It causes irregular steps that affect your ability to walk in a straight line when you walk heel to toe. You may feel unsteady if you have an ataxic gait. Shuffling gait: Shuffling is walking without lifting your feet completely off ...

Ataxia manifests by a wide-based unsteady gait, errors of extremity trajectory or placement, errors in motor sequence or rhythm and/or by dysarthria. Tone is usually decreased and stretch reflexes may be “pendular.” Nystagmus, skew deviation, disconjugate saccades, and altered ocular pursuit can be present.

2024年10月7日 · Ataxic gait refers to a type of abnormal walking pattern characterized by a lack of coordination and balance. It typically results from damage or dysfunction in the cerebellum, the part of the brain responsible for motor control.
