Q

What is an ataxic gait?

A

staggering and unsteadiness, wide BOS with exaggerated movements

Q

What is a cerebellar gait?

A

staggering gait pattern

32
Q

What is a double step gait pattern?

A

Alternate steps are of a different length or at a different rate

33
Q

What is a festinating gait?

A

when a pat walks on toes as though pushed. Starts slowly increases and may continue until pt grasps an object in order to stop

34
Q

What is the name of a gait when the pt abducts the paralyzed limb, swings it around, and brings it forward so that the foot comes to the ground in front of them?

A

Hemiplegic gait

35
Q

What is the name of the gait marekd by increased forward flexion of trunk and kees and the gait is shuffling with quick and small steps, festinating may occur?

A

Parkinsonian gait

36
Q

What is a spastic gait?

A

pattern with stiff movement, toes seeming to catch and drag, legs held together, and hip and knee joints slightly flexed

37
Q

What is a steppage gait?

A

feet and toes are lifted through hip and knee flexion to excessive heights, usually due to dorsiflexor weakness. Foot slap at initial contact

38
Q

What is a tabetic gait?

A

A high stepping ataxic pattern in which the feet slap the ground

Q

What is a trendelenburg gait?

A

Denotes glute med weakness, excessive lateral trunk flexion and weight shifting over the stance leg

40
Q

What is vaulting?

A

a pattern where the swing leg advances by compensating through a combination of pelvic elevation and plantar flexion of the stance leg
