1: A protective gait pattern where the involved step length is decreased in order to avoid weight bearing on the involved side.
2: A gait pattern characterized by staggering and unsteadiness. There is usually a wide base of support and movements are exaggerated.
3: A gait pattern characterized by a circular motion to advance the leg during swing phase; this may be used to compensate for insufficient hip or knee flexion or dorsiflexion.
4: A gait pattern characterized by high steps; usually involves excessive activity of the gastrocnemius.
5: A high stepping ataxic gait pattern in which the feet slap the ground.
6: A gait pattern where the swing leg advances by compensating through the combination of elevation of the pelvis and plantar flexion of the stance leg.
7: A gait pattern in which the feet and toes are lifted through hip and knee flexion to excessive heights; usually 2ndary to dorsiflexor weakness. The foot will slap at inital contact with the ground secondary to decreased control
8: a gait pattern in which pt abduct the paralyzed limb, swing it around, and bring it forward so the foot comes to the ground in front of them
9: A gait pattern in which alternate steps are of a different length or at a different rate
10: A gait pattern marked by increased foward flexion of the trunk and knee, gait is shuffling with quick and small steps festinating may occur
11: A gait pattern with stiff movement toes seeming to catch and drag legs held together and hip and knee joints slightly flexed commly seen in spastic paraplegia.
12: A gait pattern where a pt walks on toes as though pushed, it starts slowly increases, and may continue until the patient grasps an object in order to stop.
