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.
Gait and mobility are altered with aging, and these changes are a combination of alterations in the gait pattern and in the function of organs. Changes in gait are associated with functional decline, less independence, and impaired quality of life.
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. Walking may seems to be an uncomplicated activity.

Walking is a complex series of movements that requires your brain, bones, and muscles to work together, with help from your heart and lungs. If there is a problem with any of those systems, it could affect your ability to walk. This is known as a gait disorder.

Gait analysis is a way to assess the dynamic posture and coordination during movement. This analysis is a means to evaluate, record, and make any necessary corrections for a smooth gait.
Gait training is physical therapy to improve walking. It may be part of an overall physical therapy program to treat an injury or a physical condition that limits or prohibits the ability to walk or walk correctly.
Gait recovery is a major objective in the rehabilitation program for persons with stroke, and often a person's top goal. Restoring function after stroke is a complex process involving spontaneous recovery and the effects of therapeutic interventions.
