AB  - Independent  ambulation  is  a  critical  gross  motor  skill  achieved  early  in  childhood.  Various  neurologic  disorders  can  manifest  in  infancy  such  that  normal  gait  development  is  limited  or  delayed.  In  progressive  neurologic  conditions,  children  may  never  acquire  independent  walking  or  may  regress,  leading  to  loss  of  ambulation.  Before  discussing  different  abnormal  gait  phenomenologies,  a  brief  review  of  normal  gait  development  is  provided.  Included  in  this  chapter  is  also  a  summary  of  nonneurologic  causes  for  gait  problems.  Finally,  as  we  discuss  neurologic  differential  diagnoses  for  gait  disorder,  it  is  important  to  recognize  that  gait  dysfunction  often  coexists  with  other  abnormal  neurologic  symptoms  in  the  context  of  global  assessment  of  neurologic  disorders  in  children  and  adolescents.
