There are 7 basic pathological gaits that should be recognized by their characteristic pattern. These pathological gaits are: - Hemiplegic - Spastic diplegic - Neuropathic - Myopathic - Parkinsonian - Chorea - Ataxic These gaits have localizing value because they can indicate levels (an y axis as well as an x axis) of neurological disease or systems abnormalities (such as cerebellar or basal ganglia). Normal gait is demonstrated in the normal gait exam videos of this tutorial. The pathological gaits are demonstrated in the abnormal gait examples videos. NeuroLogic Exam has been supported by a grant from the Slice of Life Development Fund at the University of Utah, the Department of Pediatrics and the Office of Education at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. Viewing the video requires installation of the free QuickTime Plug-in.
