Cock gait

Introduction Rooster gait, when standing, the two thighs are close, the calves are slightly separated, the feet stand like toes, and when walking, like a ballet, it is a sharp walk. A special symptom caused by a lesion in the bilateral brain or spinal cord. The pathogenesis of this disease has not been fully elucidated, and there are no special measures for prevention. Early detection and early treatment are the key. You can customize some of the necessary brace to practice standing and walking, and you can also have special tools such as walking aids to compensate for the lack of function.

Cause

clinical:

1. Check that the two thighs are close when standing, the calves are slightly separated, the feet stand like toes, and when walking, the ballet is like a sharp walk. When the patient walks, the muscles are tense, weak, and the movements are not coordinated. Need or need to be able to walk, check the limbs are paralyzed. Pathological reflex positive.

2, X-ray, nuclear magnetic resonance, cerebrospinal fluid examination, etc., can prompt the compression of the vertebral body morphological changes and displacement, and can observe the condition of the spinal canal, in order to determine the extent of spinal cord injury.

Differential diagnosis

Differential diagnosis:

Duck gait: When walking, the waist is bulging, and the hips swing like a duck.

Scissors gait: the legs are stiff, the two legs are crossed inward, the knees are close to the scissors, the walking gait is small and slow, and the ball is often striking like a ballet;
