Improper Walking

Improper walking is an irregular, uncontrollable walking pattern. It can be due to genetic inheritance, systemic disease, or trauma. Improper walking affects the bones, muscles, and nerves present in the leg. Treating the underlying condition can cure the wrong walking pattern. For example, physical therapy strengthens the muscles and corrects the walking pattern. If the walking abnormality is permanent, they may be provided with assistive devices like crutches, walkers, or leg braces.
