Question: kndly sggest remedy for balance and walkng problems leg muscle weakness

Answered by Dr. Sudhir Kumar (1 hour later)

Brief Answer:
Treatment depends on the cause of your problems.

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for posting your query.

I am Dr Sudhir Kumar, Neurologist, and I would try my best to help you.

I have noted your clinical details. You required a detailed clinical examination by a neurologist, followed by investigations such as vitamin B12 level and MRI of brain/spinal cord.

Treatment would depend on the cause identified. Meganeuron OD is a vitamin B12 supplement and would help, if there is vitamin B12 deficiency.

Physiotherapy would also help.

I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.

Wishing you good health,

Brief Answer:
Gait ataxia means imbalance while walking.

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for getting back.

Gait ataxia is not a disease; it is the medical term to describe imbalance of walking.

For improvement, continue exercises and physiotherapy. You can also continue vitamin B12 supplements (meganeuron od). You would gradually get better.

Best wishes,

Dr Sudhir Kumar MD DM (Neurology)
