Coordination Exam: Normal Exam: Tandem Gait (includes Spanish audio & captions)

The patient is asked to walk heel-to-toe. Note steadiness. Tandem gait requires the patient to narrow the station and maintain balance over a 4-5 inch width. Patients with midline ataxias have difficulty with tandem gait.
