• Abnormal Gait

  This in turn leads to an abnormal gait pattern and thus the inability to walk. This movement disorder then causes consequential damages such as spasticity, irreparable joint damage and torn vertebrae. [hemiparesis-therapy.com]

  These gait disturbances are commonly due to abnormalities in gait pattern (i.e., changes at the joint kinematics level). [journals.plos.org]
