” Physiotherapy Inspiring Better Health “
Gait deviations are abnormal walking patterns that are common in individuals with cerebral palsy. This condition is caused by damage to the motor control centers in the brain, resulting in impaired movement and muscle coordination. Gait deviations can vary widely, depending on the type and severity of cerebral palsy, as well as other factors such as muscle strength, flexibility, and tone.
Dr. Mahmoud Samir Mohamed Lecturer of the faculty of Physical therapy, at Cairo University, will address an amazing lecture about;

Foot drop: where the foot drags on the ground while walking.
Spastic gait: where the muscles are stiff and have difficulty relaxing, causing a jerky or bouncy walk.
