Abnormalities of gait and mobility - what does this mean

Abnormalities of gait and mobility occur when the normal pattern of muscle contractions and relaxations that control movement of the body's limbs is disrupted. this disruption can be caused by neurological disorders, musculoskeletal conditions, or other medical issues.

What happens during the disease - abnormalities of gait and mobility

Abnormalities of gait and mobility are often caused by neurological disorders, such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, parkinson's disease, or traumatic brain injury. these conditions can lead to damage to the brain, spinal cord, or peripheral nerves, resulting in impaired movement and coordination. in some cases, the cause of the abnormality is unknown, but can be due to a combination of factors, such as muscle weakness, joint stiffness, and balance problems.
