Ataxic Gait

The femoral stretch test looks for

Thank you! This demonstration was nearly spot on. I’ve treated patients with differing stages of ataxia and all of them walked at least somewhat like this. After each step there is also a quick back-bending of the spine used in an effort to stop forward-going motion and maintain balance. This looked perhaps a bit like someone with bad hips but adding the little backwards swing after a step forward would be even more accurate! Altogether a great video, thanks!

I have ataxic gait but do not walk anywhere near like that.

Looks like the way I walk, trying to find a doctor that can help me to diagnose my problem 😢 8 mths of xrays and mri's blood tests and no answers...
