  2. GALS screen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GALS_screen

    Gait. Ask the patient to walk a short distance, turn and then walk back. Observation: looking for symmetry, smoothness of movement, normal stride length, pelvic tilt, arm swing, normal heel strike, stance, toe-off, swing through and ability to turn with ease. Note any antalgic, trendelenburg, hemiplegic or parkinsonian gait features.

  3. Gait abnormality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gait_abnormality

    Gait abnormality is a deviation from normal walking ().Watching a patient walk is an important part of the neurological examination. Normal gait requires that many systems, including strength, sensation and coordination, function in an integrated fashion.

  4. Gait (human) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gait_(human)

    A mature walking pattern is characterized by the gait cycle being approximately 60% stance phase, 40% swing phase. [18] Initiation of gait is a voluntary process that involves a preparatory postural adjustment where the center of mass is moved forward and laterally prior to unweighting one leg.

  5. Cerebral palsy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebral_palsy

    In patients with spastic hemiplegia or diplegia, various gait patterns can be observed, the exact form of which can only be described with the help of complex gait analysis systems. In order to facilitate interdisciplinary communication in the interdisciplinary team between those affected, doctors, physiotherapists and orthotists, a simple ...

  6. Trendelenburg gait - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trendelenburg_gait

    Trendelenburg gait, first described by Friedrich Trendelenburg in 1895, [1] is an abnormal human gait caused by an inability to maintain the pelvis level while standing on one leg. It is caused by weakness or ineffective action of the gluteus medius and gluteus minimus muscles.

  7. Gait deviations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gait_deviations

    Gait deviations are nominally referred to as any variation of standard human gait, typically manifesting as a coping mechanism in response to an anatomical impairment. Lower-limb amputees are unable to maintain the characteristic walking patterns of an able-bodied individual due to the removal of some portion of the impaired leg.

  8. Hemiparesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemiparesis

    Hemiplegia, in its most severe form, is the complete paralysis of one entire side of the body. Either hemiparesis or hemiplegia can result from a variety of medical causes, including congenital conditions, trauma, tumors, traumatic brain injury and stroke.

  9. Spastic hemiplegia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spastic_hemiplegia

    Spastic hemiplegia is a neuromuscular condition of spasticity that results in the muscles on one side of the body being in a constant state of contraction. It is the "one-sided version" of spastic diplegia. It falls under the mobility impairment umbrella of cerebral palsy. About 20–30% of people with cerebral palsy have spastic hemiplegia. [1]
