Question

question 27 (2.5 points)
which gait abnormality is identified by a hesitation or temporary inability to initiate walking, often occurring in specific situations such as turning or approaching a doorway?
sway back posture
circumduction gait
freezing gait
trendelenburg gait

Explanation:

• Sway back posture is a postural issue, not a gait abnormality related to initiation of walking.
• Circumduction gait involves a circular movement of the leg during swing - phase, not hesitation in starting to walk.
• Freezing gait is characterized by a sudden, temporary inability to initiate or continue walking, often in specific situations like turning or approaching a doorway.
• Trendelenburg gait is due to weakness of the hip abductor muscles and results in a hip drop on one side during gait, not related to hesitation in starting to walk.

Answer:

Freezing gait
