Gait ignition failure (GIF) classifications all had major limitations. Few years ago, a new and simpler classification was proposed by Liston. The aim of this paper is to discuss three GIF patients with respect to this new classification. All three patients presented with hesitation to start walking and turning and their neurological examination revealed start and turn hesitation without any other abnormality. We classified our patients according to Liston's classification as ignition apraxia, which enabled us to approach the patients in a practical way. This classification helps to understand the underlying pathologies and combines clinical characteristics and pathophysiology. We reported our experience with pergolide in the treatment of patients suffering from primary GIF and underline the fact that more research is needed on the treatment of this condition.
步态启动失败（GIF）分类均存在较大局限性。几年前，Liston 提出了一种新的、更简单的分类方法。本文旨在根据这一新分类方法讨论 3 例 GIF 患者。所有 3 例患者均表现为行走和转身启动犹豫，其神经系统检查显示启动和转身犹豫，无其他异常。我们根据 Liston 的分类将患者分为启动运动障碍，这使我们能够以实用的方式对患者进行治疗。这种分类有助于了解潜在的病理，并结合临床特征和病理生理学。我们报告了我们使用培高利特治疗原发性 GIF 患者的经验，并强调需要对这种疾病的治疗进行更多的研究。
