Gait disturbances are a common yet often underappreciated clinical problem, particularly among older adults and patients with neurological disorders. They can be an early indicator of underlying disease and are strongly associated with falls, loss of independence, and reduced quality of life.

In this session, the speaker will provide a practical approach to the assessment of gait disorders, focusing on key clinical patterns, neurological localization, and identification of reversible causes. The discussion will also explore evidence-based strategies for fall prevention, risk reduction, and multidisciplinary management. Through clinical examples and bedside pearls, participants will learn how to recognize gait abnormalities early and implement interventions that improve mobility and patient outcomes.
