Ataxic gait. 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. This condition may be associated with brain diseases (including cerebellar diseases and basal ganglia diseases); spinal cord diseases;
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'.

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.
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.
Parkinsonian gait known as shuffling gait presents as short steps, narrow-based with flexed knees and stooped posture. Four classic signs suggest a diagnosis of PD, including resting tremor, rigidity, bradykinesia, and postural instability. It is not necessary for all four to be present at the time of diagnosis.

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.
