Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for being on healthcaremagic.com.
I am Dr.Ajay Panwar,a neurologist, here to answer your query.

Unsteady gait can be due to several causes-including central causes like Atxia, Parkinsonian disorder, Vascular brain disease, spinal disease or peripheral disorders including nerve disorders.

Frankly speaking, neurological examination needs to be done to proceed further towards diagnosis.

Do you have any known disease?
