AB Problems  with  gait  and  balance  are  major  causes  of  falls,  accidents,  and  resulting  disability,  especially  in  later  life,  and  are  often  harbingers  of  neurologic  disease.  Early  diagnosis  is  essential,  especially  for  treatable  conditions,  because  it  may  permit  the  institution  of  prophylactic  measures  to  prevent  dangerous  falls  and  also  to  reverse  or  ameliorate  the  underlying  cause.  In  this  video,  examples  of  gait  disorders  due  to  Parkinson’s  disease,  other  extrapyramidal  disorders,  and  ataxias,  as  well  as  other  common  gait  disorders,  are  presented.
