Differential diagnosis of gait disorders in older adults

N B Alexander. Clin Geriatr Med. 1996 Nov.

Abstract

The purpose of this review is to examine the causes of gait disorders in older adults, focusing specifically on the underlying diseases that are the primary causes of the disorder. A classification system for these diseases is proposed. Thus far, interventions used to reduce gait disorders yield only modest results and residual disability is common.
