Detecting musculoskeletal, visual, and neurologic deficits. Hence, it should divide gait disorders into
three groups:
-Joint and skeletal abnormalities (antalgic and fixed joint gait)
-Motor abnormalities (causing muscle weakness and thus interfering with initiation of walking: apraxic,
spastic, rigid, and paralytic/paretic gait)
-Impaired balance (ataxic gait—sensory or cerebellar)
