gait abnormality

Gait abnormality refers to an unusual way of walking that can result from muscle weakness, joint problems, nerve issues, or neurological conditions. It may cause the walk to appear unsteady, jerky, or uneven, and can affect balance and mobility. Such abnormalities might develop gradually or suddenly and can be a sign of underlying health issues. Recognizing gait changes is important, as they can indicate problems needing medical attention to improve walking ability and prevent falls or further injury.
