Imbalance | Shuffling | Frequent falls | Staggering, and Chills

Gait disorders are very common in the adult population with increasing age. More than 62% of patients aged 80 years have a gait disorder, whether due to the neurological or non-neurological causes.

Weakness of the hip and lower extremity muscles usually causes disturbances in gait. Cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, Charcot Marie Tooth disease, ataxia-telangiectasia, spinal muscular atrophy, peroneal neuropathy, and microvascular white-matter disease all cause significant gait dysfunction.

Did you know that summer heat can actually affect individuals with neurological disorders in a more profound way? 🌞 Heat sensitivity is a common issue for people with conditions like **multiple sclerosis (MS), epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, and even migraines**. High temperatures can lead to exacerbated symptoms, including increased fatigue, muscle weakness, and even seizures.
🧠 For people with neurological conditions, staying cool isn't just about comfort – it’s crucial for managing symptoms and maintaining overall health. So, here are a few tips to help beat the heat and stay safe:
1. **Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate!** 💧
Dehydration can worsen neurological symptoms. Be sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day.
