With a footdrop the patient flexes the hip so that the foot will clear the floor. Patients with poor position sense have a wide-based gait, their feet slap the floor, and they require visual assistance to walk. Patients with a slapping gait from poor position sense often have great difficulty ambulating in the dark. http://www.aan.com/go/education/curricula/internal/chapter8 A paraparesia ou paraplegia (por vezes a tetraplegia, mais rara) ao exame neurológico demonstra hipo ou arreflexia profunda, “pé pêndulo” e a marcha em estapage (semelhante ao cavalo que ergue a pata deixando o casco pêndulo). http://www.scorpnet.com.br/livro/fundamentosdeclinicaneurolo... http://tinyurl.com/7vltddu |

marcha escarvante Explanation: Em Stedman Dicionário Médico: uma marcha na qual o pé que avança é erguido mais alto do que o normal, de modo que possa passar sobre o solo sem tocá-lo, uma vez que não pode ser dorsifletido. É observada nas neuropatias que acometem o nervo fibular, bem como em outros distúrbios nos quais ocorre dificuldade na dorsiflexão do pé. |
