I would love to see someone that starts with a more obvious issue. She looked liked she was walking pretty normal to me, but that might be because my ms gait is much more pronounced.

Interesting, very interesting. I have that same exact walk, but my right leg does that straightening posture. I’ve had that same walk for at least 10 years and didn’t know that was a gait thing. I wondered why I walked funny and sometimes lost balance. I am currently finally telling my doctor I may have MS due to a history of MS symptoms I’ve been experiencing including little to no reflex when you hit that nerve in my right elbow and knee. I like this study.

We're glad you found it interesting and we hope it was helpful.

Tears you guys. This walk looks familiar

[@loriemorris5286]

I have MS my gait more of limp!

[@MissionGait]

MS can present in a lot of different ways. This is one of almost endless variations that can be seen.

[@hpdagreat]

Is there a way to fix it

[@yazzy360]

How would you describe this gait?

[@MissionGait]

Most notably in this video you will see genu recurvatum, where the left leg is hyperextending as the weight is placed on that side.

@Jefferson Denver bro, go somewhere else with your nonsense

[@MissionGait]

It takes time and practice. We know you will get there!
