Marcha Humana |top|

The impact of a marcha humana can be profound, offering a peaceful yet powerful means of expression. It can:

| Gait Pattern | Cause | Characteristics | |--------------|-------|------------------| | | Weak gluteus medius | Pelvis drops on swing side; trunk lurches toward stance side. | | Steppage (Foot drop) | Weak dorsiflexors (e.g., peroneal nerve palsy) | Excessive hip/knee flexion during swing (high-stepping). | | Antalgic | Pain (e.g., osteoarthritis) | Shortened stance phase on painful side; decreased walking speed. | | Hemiplegic (Circumduction) | Stroke | Stiff leg swings in a semicircle; arm flexed. | | Parkinsonian | Basal ganglia dysfunction | Shuffling, reduced arm swing, en bloc turning, festination. | | Ataxic | Cerebellar dysfunction | Wide base, irregular step length, staggering (like alcohol intoxication). | | Myopathic (Waddling) | Proximal muscle weakness (e.g., muscular dystrophy) | Pelvic drop bilaterally, exaggerated lumbar lordosis. | marcha humana
