What Are Balance And Gait Disorder?

Balance problems occur when you have difficulties maintaining stability while standing or walking. This problem can be mental or physical, a state where your brain might function like it is moving while your body is stationary, causing you to lose your balance and fall. Whereas gait disorders are usually problems with your walking pattern or irregular stepping. This can be caused by musculoskeletal problems. Although these problems might seem alike, they vary slightly. Both of these problems impact the stability of a person while walking or standing as well as may cause the individual to fall. If you are going through any of these issues, do not worry we have got the best solution for you.

What Causes Balance And Gait Disorder?

There are numerous causes of balance and gait disorders. The causes might be underlying, but they all cause a person to lose balance while walking also making them unstable. These are some of the main causes of balance and gait disorders.

Inner Ear Problems

This is one of the major causes of movement instability causing one to topple. Problems with the inner ear, cause balance issues, these are called vestibular disorders, and they can disturb how well our body stays steady.

Musculoskeletal Problems

Problems like arthritis, joint pain, or weakening of muscles can affect your stability as well as hinder you from performing basic physical activities.

Age-Related Changes

When people get older, their muscle strength, their ability to bend or stretch their joints, and hearing and touching senses diminish with age. This highly affects their body stability as well as their balance.

Joint Problems

Individuals might have trouble walking properly if their joints become stiff or injured, like in arthritis. This can change how they walk and make them wobble when moving forward or backward.

Neurological Diseases

People with problems like Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, or stroke may have issues in the nervous system that make an individual prone to falling down more. Health problems or conditions like stroke and peripheral neuropathy can mess up signals in the body that control movement.

Injuries In Spinal Cord

Injuries or sicknesses that cause problems in the spinal cord can stop the signals between the brain and legs. This causes problems with the way of walking, which is also called gait abnormalities.
