A new classification of higher level gait disorders in patients with cerebral multi-infarct states

Abstract

it is suggested, though not proven, that patients with Ignition Apraxia could have problems with internal cueing due to lesions in the supplementary motor area or its connections whereas those with Equilibrium Apraxia could have dysfunction predominantly in the pre-motor area and its connections.

Relationship between cognitive function and 6-minute walking test in older outpatients with chronic heart failure

“…This finding is consistent with epidemiological data linking even mild cerebrovascular disease with mobility impairment (33).…”

Common Carotid Artery Intima-Media Thickness, Carotid Plaques, and Walking Speed

“…1 It increases the risk of falls, functional decline, and death. [1][2][3] Cerebral multi-infarct states can lead to variously labeled gait disorders (eg, vascular parkinsonism, frontal gait disorder, and "marche à petits pas"), 4 but the contribution of vascular risk factors to the etiology of age-related gait changes (eg, in speed) has received less attention.…”

Recovery Process of Gait Disturbance after Ventriculo-Peritoneal Shunt in Patients with Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus

“…Gait disturbances in the early stage after VP shunt fell under the frontal gait disorder of Nutt's classification or the mixed gait apraxia of Liston's classification 10) (Tables 2 and 3). Disequilibrium clearly improved gradually after VP shunt, however, gait ignition failure and hypokinesia did not improve significantly in our study.…”
