1. Different Types of Abnormal Gait

There are several different types of abnormal gait, including spastic gait, steppage gait, scissors gait, waddling gait, magnetic gait, and propulsive gait. Categorized based on their appearance, each has its own unique set of symptoms. In addition to the above-mentioned types, limps—whether they are due to an injury or condition—are also considered a deviation from normal walking patterns.
