Full transcript
- 0:01hello everyone
- 0:02this is my 12th video on motor system
- 0:04examination in first 11 videos i have
- 0:07already covered the bulk posture tone
- 0:10power deep tendon reflex and superficial
- 0:12reflexes
- 0:13today i am going to tell you the details
- 0:15of gate
- 0:17whenever we are observing the gate and
- 0:19station of the patient we are basically
- 0:24looking at the cns so gate and station
- 0:27both are the mirror of cns so we have to
- 0:30observe each and every patient how the
- 0:33patient is working how the patient is
- 0:36standing from the sitting and the lying
- 0:38down position
- 0:39gate is the way patient walks and
- 0:41station is the way patient stands and
- 0:44maintain the posture
- 0:46for the normal gait and the estration
- 0:48there should be normal motor function
- 0:50proprioceptive sensation brain stem
- 0:53function cerebellar basal ganglia
- 0:54function and tonic naked and
- 0:56labyrinthine reflex vestibular function
- 0:58and normal escalator system will be
- 1:01required to maintain the normal gait and
- 1:04station
- 1:06now for the assessment of gate and
- 1:08station we will tell the child to
- 1:10extends from the lying down or sitting
- 1:12position then we will observe if the
- 1:14child is able to stand erect head up
- 1:17chest out abdomen
- 1:18and they fit together and there should
- 1:20be no unsteadiness
- 1:22then we will tell the child to stands
- 1:24with the eyes closed if the child is not
- 1:28able to maintain the balance with the
- 1:30eyes closed
- 1:31that means rombach sign is positive
- 1:34details of the rombak sign i have
- 1:36already explained with the eighth
- 1:38cranial nerve examination
- 1:40now we have to observe the gait cycle
- 1:44and also reciprocal arm swing with the
- 1:46walk is there or not then we will
- 1:49measure the base width it is the
- 1:51distance between both medial malleoli it
- 1:53is normally approximately two inches if
- 1:55it is less than or more than this that
- 1:58means it is abnormal if it is more than
- 2:01two inches we label as a white base gate
- 2:04then we will tell the child to walk
- 2:06with the eyes open then with the eyes
- 2:09closed
- 2:10and after that in more than nine years
- 2:13age group children's we will tell the
- 2:15child to
- 2:16perform the tandem walk so in this video
- 2:19you can see how to perform the tandem
- 2:21walk
- 2:22so
- 2:23the age of this child is 11 years so
- 2:26child is performing the tandem walk
- 2:29by keeping the
- 2:30heel of the foot
- 2:32in front of the toes of the another foot
- 2:36if the child is able to perform that
- 2:38means child is having the normal gait
- 2:42in
- 2:43cerebral or atexia child will not be
- 2:45able to perform this walk then we will
- 2:47tell the child to perform the toes and
- 2:50heel walk it is again possible after the
- 2:52age of 5 years
- 2:54so in this video you can see child has
- 2:56performed the toe work now performing
- 2:58the heel walk
- 2:59then we will tell the child to walk
- 3:01briskly and again suddenly we will tell
- 3:03the child to stop it
- 3:05and turn to the right side left side and
- 3:08backward
- 3:09so by this way we have to observe the
- 3:11gate and the station of the child
- 3:15now i am going to show you some of the
- 3:17abnormal gates and the characteristics
- 3:20of all these abnormal gates in next few
- 3:22slides
- 3:24so first abnormal gate is a or
- 3:26the seasoning gate and this child is
- 3:29having the seasoning of legs
- 3:31that's why known as scissoring gate
- 3:33wooden shoulder it is seen in the
- 3:35congenital diaphragm diaplasic
- 3:37cp child chronic myelopathy and cervical
- 3:40spondylosis
- 3:42so in this video you can see the child
- 3:44is having the slow walking with support
- 3:47bilateral hip and the knee joint are
- 3:49adducted and partially flexed child is
- 3:51dragging the feet because of the stiff
- 3:53leg
- 3:54and also walking on the toes because of
- 3:56the equinox position of the feet
- 3:59and heel core shortening so this is the
- 4:01characteristic of seasoning gate seen in
- 4:05the
- 4:05commonly diaplegic sleepy child
- 4:09another characteristic abnormal gait is
- 4:11the circumduction gate
- 4:13it is known as circumduction because
- 4:15child left the league in the form of
- 4:17circle or arc it is seen in the
- 4:20hemiparesis
- 4:22and in this image you can see child is
- 4:24keeping the upper limb
- 4:26close to the body
- 4:28legs and adducted shoulder raised elbow
- 4:30joints are there and the affected lower
- 4:33limb is stiff and in extended position
- 4:38so in this video you can see the child
- 4:39is having circumduction gate and when
- 4:42child will lift the affected limb hip
- 4:45will be higher than the normal side and
- 4:47child is dragging the foot
- 4:50and the circumduction is there lifting
- 4:52the leg in the form of arc or circle
- 4:56so this is characteristic of
- 4:59circumduction gate seen in
- 5:01hemiparesis
- 5:05another abnormal gate is the high
- 5:07stepping or stippage or equine gate
- 5:11because child will raise the foot higher
- 5:13than the normal foot that's why it is
- 5:15known as high stepping gate it is seen
- 5:18in the foot drop and in sensory atexia
- 5:22in this video you can see the child is
- 5:24having the right sided unilateral foot
- 5:26drop
- 5:27and to raise the foot from the floor
- 5:30child is flexing the hip and the knee
- 5:32joint
- 5:34in the exaggerated manner
- 5:36to lift the foot from the floor
- 5:40and there will be a double tape sound
- 5:43it is because toes strike the ground
- 5:46first then the heel
- 5:48and
- 5:48in normal walk
- 5:50heel strike first
- 5:55high stepping gate
- 5:57can be seen in the unilateral foot drop
- 5:59due to the peripheral neuropathy
- 6:01peroneal nerve palsy l5 radiculopathy or
- 6:04polio myelitis
- 6:06sometimes child is having the bilateral
- 6:08food drop because of the muscular
- 6:10dystrophy bilateral food dorsiflexor
- 6:13weakness
- 6:14charcoal mary 2 disease amyotrophic
- 6:17lateral sclerosis
- 6:19even in the sensory atexia child will
- 6:21have the high stepping gate but in
- 6:24sensory atexia
- 6:26there will be heal strike first than the
- 6:29toes
- 6:32another abnormal gate is the atexic or
- 6:35broad base gate also known as staggering
- 6:38or reeling gate in this child walk like
- 6:41a drunk card name that's why known as
- 6:43drunken sailor so in this video you can
- 6:46see
- 6:47the child is having the atexia so child
- 6:50is walking
- 6:52in broad base placing the feet wide
- 6:54apart and child is having the clumsy
- 6:57unsteady swaying or lurching or
- 6:59uncoordinated gait child cannot walk in
- 7:02the straight line and when you will tell
- 7:05the child to perform the tandem walk or
- 7:07walk in a straight line child will have
- 7:09the
- 7:11unsteady gate and child can even fall on
- 7:14the affected side or child will lose the
- 7:16balance it is seen in the cerebellar
- 7:18dysfunction posterior column disease and
- 7:20the
- 7:21vestibular disease
- 7:25another abnormal gait is the
- 7:27ataxi gate in this child will have the
- 7:30both the component of the spasticity and
- 7:33the atexia it is also known as jiggling
- 7:36or bobbing gate
- 7:38in this video you can see the child is
- 7:41having the atoxic gate and there
- 7:44will be the
- 7:46up and down body moments also
- 7:49associated with this and child will have
- 7:52the stimulus bouncing movements
- 7:54and when both
- 7:55corticospinal tract and the posterior
- 7:58column are involved then this type of
- 8:01gait is seen in the vitamin b12
- 8:03deficiency
- 8:04or in multiple sclerosis or amyotrophic
- 8:07lateral sclerosis
- 8:11another abnormal gate is the wedding or
- 8:14the myopathy gate it is seen in the
- 8:17proximal myopathies muscular dystrophy
- 8:20whenever there is a hip curdle muscle
- 8:22weakness
- 8:23so if the child is having unilateral
- 8:26muscle weakness child will have the
- 8:28trendelberg sign
- 8:30due to the hip abductor weakness in this
- 8:33abnormal drop of the pelvis on the
- 8:35affected side occur
- 8:37we label as a wedding gate whenever
- 8:39there is a bilateral hip girdle muscle
- 8:41weakness as
- 8:43there will be
- 8:44exaggerated pelvic swing and child will
- 8:47have the exaggerated hip motion or the
- 8:50rotation of the pelvis also hyperlodic
- 8:53posture will be there
- 8:54and child will walk with the broad base
- 8:58known as wedding or the myopathic aid
- 9:01child will also have the difficulty in
- 9:04climbing stairs because of the proximal
- 9:06muscle weakness also child will have the
- 9:09govern sign so in this video you can see
- 9:12child is standing from the sitting
- 9:14position and the govern sign is there
- 9:16child is taking the help of the hand
- 9:19two stents
- 9:21it is characteristically seen in the dmd
- 9:24also child will have the toe walking
- 9:26so in this video you can see the child
- 9:28is
- 9:30walking on the toes because of the
- 9:32proximal muscle weakness it is again
- 9:34seen in the proximal myopathies
- 9:40hyperkinetic gate seen whenever child is
- 9:42having abnormal limbs movement either
- 9:44chorea athetosis or the dystonia so in
- 9:48this video you can see the child is
- 9:50having
- 9:51coric movement in the limbs and also
- 9:54having the
- 9:56abnormal body movements
- 9:58this child was suffering from syndendam
- 10:00korea and having the hyperkinetic gate
- 10:03also can be seen in the huntington
- 10:05disease or any other disease in which
- 10:08child is having abnormal limbs movement
- 10:11some other gaits are intelligent
- 10:14whenever child is having pain or the
- 10:16fracture in the lower limbs
- 10:19hypokinetic gait is seen in the adult
- 10:21those who are suffering from parkinsonis
- 10:24in which gate will be slow stiff
- 10:26shuffling and
- 10:27walk with small steps
- 10:30and decrease arm swing will be there
- 10:32also having the rigidity bradycarnation
- 10:35loss of associated movements
- 10:38we label the tentative gate whenever
- 10:40child is having the weakness or
- 10:42hypotonia of the lower extremity
- 10:49so this is all about the
- 10:52gate and the station
- 10:54thank you so much
