Diplegic Gait Demonstration
The patient has spasticity in the lower extremities greater than the upper extremities. The hips and knees are flexed and adducted with the ankles extended and internally rotated. When the patient walks both lower extremities are circumducted and the upper extremities are held in a mid or low guard position. This type of gait is usually seen with bilateral periventricular lesions. The legs are more affected than the arms because the corticospinal tract axons that are going to the legs are closest to the ventricles.

Scissoring and diplegic gait are they the same?

@LuvRK9s . Why is your daughter diplegic? What condition is causing it out of curiosity. Thanks

[LuvRK9s]

Yep. That's my daughter! Or at least her gait pattern. She holds her hands quite a bit higher and to the sides, almost the way you'd see a toddler learning to walk, but very close rendition of her lower extremities. Wish I had had You tube 12 years ago when she was born and trying to wrap my mind around the information given to me. Great medical reference for med students, parents, even teachers!
