Gait Spastic

Here is my article on this topic:

Spastic gait is a medical term that describes a characteristic body movement that is common in patients with nervous system disorders. Patients with these disorders may experience problems with motor coordination, proprioception, balance, and motor skills.

There are several types of walking that can occur in various diseases of the nervous system: - gait with legs extended forward, - gait with legs pulled back and slow movement, - stumbling gait, when the patient stumbles with every step. Spastic gait is one of the most common gait patterns in various neurological diseases, including cerebral palsy, Alzheimer's disease and multiple sclerosis. It is characterized by small movements of the legs, difficulty lifting the feet off the floor and bending of the knees.

Spastic gaits can have different manifestations and degrees of severity depending on the type of disorder and the stage of the disease. Treatment includes the use of physical therapy, physiotherapy, exercise therapy and other rehabilitation methods. It is important to note that each patient is individual, and the treatment approach must be individualized.

It is important to consult a doctor in a timely manner and undergo regular medical examinations to monitor your health and prevent the development of complications.

The most famous example of hemifacial spasm is “parrot chorea” [1]. In this case, the patient speaks in short phrases, moves in small steps and swings his arms while walking. In the case of asia and abasia, the development of facial and motor hypokinesia (“washing symptom”) is possible. One of
