Hemiplegic Gait

Hemiplegic Gait

Do you or a loved one experience difficulty walking after a stroke or brain injury? A hemiplegic gait is a walking pattern seen in people with weakness or paralysis on one side of the body. It is characterized by stiffness, dragging of the affected leg, and circumduction (swinging the leg outward in a semicircle) due to limited knee and ankle movement. The arm on the same side is often held close to the body with elbow flexion.

This gait not only affects mobility but also increases the risk of falls and joint strain if not corrected with proper rehabilitation. Early and consistent physiotherapy is crucial to restore safe walking. Treatment includes gait training, balance exercises, muscle strengthening, stretching to reduce spasticity, functional electrical stimulation, and use of assistive devices if needed. Task-oriented training helps retrain the brain and body to walk more naturally.

If you’re searching for a β€œphysiotherapist near me” for stroke rehabilitation, trust Dr. Deepika Bansal – Physiotherapist in Balewadi, Wakad, Aundh, Pimple Saudagar. With reliable and individualized care, she helps patients regain confidence, independence, and improve their walking pattern after hemiplegia.
