Gait and balance disorders can cause unsteadiness, difficulty walking, dizziness, or frequent falls, significantly impacting daily life. These issues may result from neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, stroke, neuropathy, multiple sclerosis, or vestibular dysfunction. At Grove Neurology, we specialize in diagnosing and treating gait and balance disorders to improve mobility, prevent falls, and restore confidence in movement.
Gait & Balance Disorders
Common causes include neurological conditions (Parkinson’s, stroke, neuropathy, MS), inner ear problems, muscle weakness, aging, and past injuries.
Symptoms may include difficulty walking, shuffling steps, dizziness, lack of coordination, frequent falls, or feeling unsteady when standing.
Diagnosis includes a neurological exam, balance assessments, gait analysis, imaging (MRI/CT), and vestibular function tests.
Yes! Treatment may include physical therapy, balance exercises, assistive devices, medications, or neurological treatments like Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson’s disease.
If you experience frequent falls, dizziness, difficulty walking, or worsening unsteadiness, a neurology evaluation can help identify the cause and improve mobility.
