What is Gait and Balance Disorders
Gait and balance disorders are conditions that affect a person’s ability to walk or stay steady while standing or moving. These issues can arise from neurological problems, musculoskeletal conditions, or other medical concerns.
Common Symptoms:
- Trouble walking or staying balanced
- Unsteadiness or fear of falling
- Dizziness or vertigo
- Lightheadedness or fainting
- Nausea or vomiting

Gait and balance disorders can significantly impact a person’s quality of life, leading to decreased independence, reduced physical activity, and increased risk of falls and injuries.
