Abstract:
The purpose of this review is to examine the causes of gait disorders in older adults, focusing specifically on the underlying diseases that are the primary causes of the disorder. A classification system for these diseases is proposed. Thus far, interventions used to reduce gait disorders yield only modest results and residual disability is common.
