Type 1 Excludes ataxia NOS (R27.0) hereditary ataxia (G11.-) locomotor (syphilitic) ataxia (A52.11) immobility syndrome (paraplegic) (M62.3) Abnormalities of gait and mobility.
Ataxia, unspecified. Awkwardness in motor behavior associated with loss of afferent information from the moving part or with loss of control mechanism of the cerebellum. Impairment of the ability to perform smoothly coordinated voluntary movements. This condition may affect the limbs, trunk, eyes, pharynx, larynx, and other structures.
hereditary ataxia ( G11.-) (ah-tak-sik) awkward, uncoordinated walking. Awkward, uncoordinated walking. Impairment of the ability to coordinate the movements required for normal ambulation (walking) which may result from impairments of motor function or sensory feedback.
Ataxia is typically defined as the presence of abnormal, uncoordinated movements. This usage describes signs & symptoms without reference to specific diseases. An unsteady, staggering gait is described as an ataxic gait because walking is uncoordinated and appears to be 'not ordered'.

Shuffling gait refers to quick-stepping, short-stride walking movements. Normally, we step with a heel-toe motion as we walk. This normal gait is dependent on our toes pushing forcefully off the ground to propel us forward. Without the toe push, a shuffling flat-footed gait occurs.
Ataxic gait is often characterized by difficulty walking in a straight line, lateral veering, poor balance, a widened base of support, inconsistent arm motion, and lack of repeatability. These symptoms often resemble gait seen under the influence of alcohol.
Abnormal gait or a walking abnormality is when a person is unable to walk in the usual way. This may be due to injuries, underlying conditions, or problems with the legs and feet.
An unsteady gait is an abnormality in walking that can be caused by diseases of or damage to the legs and feet (including the bones, joints, blood vessels, muscles, and other soft tissues) or to the nervous system that controls the movements necessary for walking.
Antalgic gait is one of the most common forms of altered gait in patients presenting to the emergency department and primary care offices. It refers to an abnormal pattern of walking secondary to pain that ultimately causes a limp, whereby the stance phase is shortened relative to the swing phase.
Abnormalities of gait and mobility The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM R26 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Gait abnormality is a deviation from normal walking (gait). Watching a patient walk is the most important part of the neurological examination. Normal gait requires that many systems, including strength, sensation and coordination, function in an integrated fashion.
