CONCLUSION
PAD is a pandemic disease with multiple facets. It confers a high risk for significant cardiovascular and cerebrovascular morbidity and mortality. A multidisciplinary approach, involving an interventional cardiologist, vascular surgeon, radiologist, infectious disease specialist,andpodiatristisabsolutelycrucial.Podiatristsplayacriticalroleastheyareinthe forefrontofthisbattleagainstPADandcanbeconsideredthe“footsoldiers.”Podiatristssee andmanagetheentirespectrumofthediseaseandthusareinacriticalposition,whereinthey cancreateasignificantpositiveimpactonthisdisease.Thegoalsofthetreatmentshouldbe symptomrelief,improvement inthe qualityoflife,preventionofcardiovascularevents,and limbsalvage.

aitis themomentary loss andregaining ofbalancethat takes place with each step.Of
course most people never think aboutthis complex, rhythmic process that takes place thousands of times each day which is dependent upon a myriad of three systems working interdependently to allow for a smooth-in-form bipedal gait. The visual, vestibular, and proprioceptive senses comprise the afferentsensorysystem. Nerves, muscles,bones, joints, and tendons comprise the locomotor efferent system, and all are monitored and under the
controlofthecentralnervoussystem(CNS).1Itisonlywhenoneofthesesystemsbeginsto faltereitherasaresultofsystemicdiseaseorasaresultoftheinevitableagingprocessthatthe individualandthoseclosesttothembegintonoticethesechanges.
Most children take their first steps at approximately 1 year of age; however, complete adultlikecoordination is not achieved until 6 years of age. Itis atthis timethat the lower extremitynervoussystemreceivesitsfullmyelincoatingmakingiteasierfortheneuromotor
systemtoorchestrateamaturegaitpattern.2Theactofadultwalkingbeginswithaconfidence inherentinthehumanorganismthatinstillsintheindividualthebeliefthatifheorshethinks theycanwalkfrompointAtopointBtheyautomaticallywillbeabletodoso.Theythinkthey canbecausetheyhavedoneitbeforeandthereforeshouldbeabletodoitagainuntiloneday thatprocessisinterruptedandtheirfeetdonotrespondinthesamecoordinatedmannerasthey once did. They begintonoticetheir gaitis notasgraceful,smooth,or spryasitoncewas. Theremaybe anirregularity inarm–legcoordinationandsymmetry,increasedsway, shorter steps, slower speed, trips, slips and falls, rigidity with motion, and an overall loss of confidence in being able to accomplish basic locomotor tasks. Compensatory adjustments madebytheindividualinanattempttoimprovestabilitymayresultinfurtherdisassociation fromanormal-appearinggaitpattern.Itisatthispointthatprofessionalconsultationisusually soughttodetermine whether or notthisalterationinfunctionisduetosystemicdisease, the manifestationofidiopathicgaitchangesassociatedwiththeagingprocessorassimpleasan improperlyfittingshoe.
Locomotionistheactofgettingfromoneplacetoanotherandinvolvesnotonlythelower extremitybutthearm/handcomplexaswell.Gaitisthemeansofachievingthisaction.Balance andgaitareintimatelyconnected.Walkingisaformofgaitwithaparticularpatternoffootfalls andspecificrequirements(Table10-1).Itisacomplexprocessinvolvingthemusculoskeletal and nervous systems, which represents the sum total of all the functional and structural
https://t.me/medicina_free
capabilitiesoftheindividual.Walkingistheresponseoftheindividualwhoisactivelysolving aspecificmotorproblem.Itisdictatedbyindividualconstraintsandtaskenvironment,thatis, walkingonawet,slopedcobblestonestreetisamuchmoredifficulttaskthanwalkingona dry, flat,level sidewalk.Gaitsolutionstolocomotorchallengesemerge,whicharetaskand individualneuromotorcapabilityappropriate.
Speed is a key indicator of the functional status of the locomotor system. In fact, observation of the unprompted speed at which an individual walks is a cost-effective
determinantused topredicttheoverall health oftheindividual—the speedier live longer.
3,4
Walking speed inversely correlates with the ability of theindividual to live independently, performvariousactivitiesofdailylivingsuchasbeingabletocrossanintersectionbeforethe
lightchanges,andtheriskoffalling.5Aninevitableresultoflivingalongerlifeisthatatsome point,usuallysomewhereinthesixthdecade,peoplestartslowingdown.6Thisprocesscanto
someextentbedelayedthroughexerciseandpropernutrition;however,no oneintheirlater yearswalksasspritely,runsasfast,orbalancesaswellastheydidintheiryouth.
Central pattern generators (CPGs) are groupings of neurons or neural circuits that can generateandcontrolcoordinatedmovements.Itisaninnateneuromotorandspinalreflexive
neuralnetwork.7CPGsaremodifiedbysensoryinput.Changesinneuraloutputaredependent uponjointangle,interjointrelationships,centerofgravity(COG),andtheweightbearingstatus
ofthelimb andare recognized bymultisensorial afferent input or byperipheral receptors.
7
Activation patterns for the leg musculature and stance to swing phase transitions during ambulationaredeterminedbylocalinformationreceivedthroughmechanicalreceptorsinthe
plantar aspect of the feet andfrom proprioceptive inputs inthe extensor foot musculature.
8
Locomotorcontrolisdistributedacrossneuralnetworksorganizedathigherandlowerlevels withparallelascendinganddescendingpathwaysforintegrationamongdifferentsubsystems. Age-resistant neurospinal circuits control limb movements and modulate antigravity muscle tone and active propulsion.However,active propulsive power deteriorates withadvancing age.Thechallengefortheagingindividualisthepreciseregulationoftheir musculoskeletal systemfunctionwhilemaintainingbalanceandpropellingthebodyforward.Themaintenance of dynamic neuromuscular equilibrium providing external stability essential for safe locomotionisadverselyaffectedbyageandsystemicdisease.
It has been stated that gait and balance are intimately connected, and when stepping is impairedthereisanincreasedriskforfalls.ThismaybeduetothedisplacedCOG,impaired CNSregions,aninabilitytocorrectperturbationsorduetothemanifestationofagaitdisorder
affectingposturalstability.
1
Thereareanumberoffactorsthatinfluencegait(Table10-1).Mostindividualsexperience anincreasingdifficultyinambulationwithincreasingage.9Gaitabnormalities increase with
ageeveninotherwisehealthyindividuals.In75%ofthecases theetiologyismultifactorial, butifsolitaryitisprobablymusculoskeletalinnature.
9
Spielberg in his landmark study investigating the walking patterns of older people classifiedgaitchangeswithadvancingageintothreestages(Table10-2).10Thechallengefor
healthpractitionersistobeabletoascertainwhetherornotalterationsingaitcanbeascribed totheexpectedchangesaccompanyingthe aging process,resultinginanidiopathic geriatric

asitmovesforwardtoitsintendeddestination.11Thegreaterthenumberofcontactpointsin the locomotor apparatus thesimplerthe effort.In thecaseofa wheel thenumber ofcontact

Gait is virtuallyimpossible to measure through observational gaitanalysis (OGA), and althoughit is an unreliable indicator ofthebody inmotion,significant deviations from the normshouldberelativelyeasytodiscerneventotheuntrainedclinician.Thecorrelationofthe biomechanical examinationfindings as well as knowledgeofmusculoskeletal constraints is criticalintheevaluationofgaitobservations.Whenobservinggaitbeginbyobtainingagross

UMNGAITDISTURBANCES
UMNlesionpathologyisassociatedwithmuscleparesis,overactivity-spasticity,andstiffness. CPGsmaybeintactintheseindividuals;however, dueto dysfunctional spinal reflexes and

Sensoryataxia is duetoproprioceptive sensorydeficitsandis exemplified bya staggering gait,whichmayincludestomping,slapping,orheavyheelstriketoincreasesensoryfeedback

ParkinsonDisease
PDisaprogressiveasymmetricaldisordercausedbyabasalgangliadopaminedeficiencyand isresponsiblefor10%ofgaitdisturbancesinadults.20Duetoneurotransmitterimbalances,PD
patientsprogressivelyloseflexibilityandadaptabilityinlocomotorresponsesandwalkwitha stereotypical shortened-step, narrow-base, shuffling gait. The ability to respond to gait challenges including cognitive demands made during ambulation and gait perturbations are

Like other UMNdisease disorders, parkinsonian gait is ataxic innature withdistinctly different and distinguishing “hallmark of the disease” characteristics. These include pill rolling,tremor,festination,rigidity,posturalinstability,andanoverallslownessofgaitknown as hypo- or bradykinesia (Table 10-4). In some severe cases, there may be akinesia or completeloss ofmobility.Unlikepyramidaldisorders, strengthispreservedwith the lower extremitythatisrigidinnature.Festinationistheinabilityoftheparkinsonianpatienttoslow downoncegaithasbeeninitiated.Thisisduetomuscularhypertonicitymanifestedbyankle
