Abstract
- The gait seen in the syndrome of gait ignition failurehas the elements of parkinsonism and frontal gait disorders with difficulty starting walking, turn hesitation and freezing. Unlike parkinsonism and frontal gait disorder, however, this syndrome showes a relatively normal gait with upright posture, good arm swing and normal stride length once under way, and normal or nearly normal equilibrium. None of the patients with this gait disorder have classic parkinsonian features and impairment of cognition or limb praxia. Therefore this syndrome may be different disease entity from Parkinson!s disease or frontal gait disorders.
