10 Symptoms of a Acoustic Neuroma
Symptom #9: Unsteady Gait
The human gait describes the normal locomotion of the movement of the limbs. The human gait can also be described to be the biphasic bipedal propulsion of the body. The human gait can be categorized as natural or trained. Examples of trained gaits include specialized gaits used in martial arts and hand walking.
The three main regions thought to regulate gait are cerebellar locomotor region, mesopontine tegmentum locomotor region, and spinal cord locomotor region. An unsteady gait can be seen in those with disruption of equilibrium, loss of visual cues, and more. It is therefore a symptom that can be seen in patients with acoustic neuroma.
