Neurologic disease may result in a variety of different gait abnormalities. Senile gait is a distinct neurologic disorder and signs of dysfunction of major neuroanatomic systems are absent. The clinical picture is variable. Senile gait is not directly associated with dementing illness and its anatomic basis is unknown. It does not appear related to hydrocephalus. It is a specific clinical entity related to the degeneration of the nervous system. Further studies are needed to better understand this condition and to develop therapeutic approaches.
神经系统疾病可能导致多种不同的步态异常。老年步态是一种独特的神经系统疾病，主要神经解剖系统功能障碍的体征并不存在。临床表现多样。老年步态与痴呆症无直接关联，其解剖学基础尚不清楚。它似乎与脑积水无关。它是一种与神经系统退化相关的特定临床实体。需要进一步研究以更好地理解这种情况并开发治疗方法。
