Figure 4 From Evaluation Of The Elderly Patient With An Abnormal Gait

Evaluation Of The Elderly Patient With An Abnormal Gait Semantic Schol Abstract. distinguishing between the normal gait of the elderly and pathologic gaits is often difficult. pathologic gaits with neurologic causes include frontal gait, spastic hemiparetic gait, parkinsonian gait, cerebellar ataxic gait, and sensory ataxic gait. pathologic gaits with combined neurologic and musculoskeletal causes include. Treatable causes of gait disturbance are found in a substantial proportion of patients and include normal pressure hydrocephalus, vitamin b (12) deficiency, parkinson's disease, alcoholism, medication toxicity, cervical spondylotic myelopathy, lumbar spinal stenosis, joint contractures, and painful disorders of the lower extremity.

Figure 4 From Evaluation Of The Elderly Patient With An Abnormal Gait Musculoskeletal causes include myelopathic gait, stooped gait of lumbar spinal stenosis, and steppage gait. pathologic gaits with musculoskeletal causes include antalgic gait, coxalgic gait, trendelenburg gait, knee hyperextension gait, and other gaits caused by inadequate joint mobility. a working knowledge of the characteristics of these gaits and a systematic approach to observational gait.

Evaluation is best approached in 4 parts: discussing the patient’s complaints, fears, and goals related to mobility. observing gait with and without an assistive device (if safe) assessing all components of gait (see table performance oriented assessment of mobility) observing gait again with a knowledge of the patient’s gait components. Antalgic gait is characterized by a decreased time in the stance phase on the affected limb. the affected limb is placed on the ground just long enough to quickly swing the unaffected limb to stance. this gait allows the patient to diminish pain by minimizing the weight bearing time on that limb.

The stiff knee gait is a common abnormal gait pattern in patients after stroke characterized by insufficient knee flexion during swing [86,87]. elder adults can develop abnormal gaits that are.
