When we walk everyone is differing in their walking pattern including their foot placement and how our muscles and nerves interact together. So your own gait is individual with the way we all walk with our foot and hip movement.

What is considered as abnormal gait can include foot limping, shuffling of feet, short steps and trouble with coordination. These are more common as we age with 15% of people experiencing a gait abnormality by 60.

There are several types of gain abnormalities including the most common being:

Antalgic gait – this is usually the result of pain and makes someone limp.

Propulsive gait – this type of gait includes a stooping type posture and steps are usually short.

Scissors gait – this type of gait is when knees and thighs hit or cross in a scissor type fashion when walking.

Steppage gait – this gait is a high step when the hips elevate and makes the foot appear floppy.

Crouching gait – a gait that causes the ankles, knees and hips to flex while you walk.

Complications of gait abnormalities and be due to increased risk of falls and injuries, muscle weakness, pain and reduction in ability to maintain independence.

As we age it is important to ensure we stay strong, mobile and strong so that we move with our gait the most effective way we can,

Joint inflammation can occur when the immune system responds to the bodies need for repair – either injury, swelling or degradation. This process for increasing inflammatory responses allows the tissues to start to repair. Inflammatory responses are a need for our body to repair; in some instances, this response can lead to a chronic condition or disorder.

Some joint inflammatory response can be due to immune activation or over activation, changes in the connective tissues in the joint, increase in inflammatory cells releasing signalling proteins called cytokines or other key signalling pathway responses amplifying the inflammatory response.

How we can support our bodies in this process is by ensuring we have sufficient nutrients to reduce this chronic inflammatory response. These can be:

• Omega-3 Fatty Acids – found in fatty fish (salmon, sardines, tuna), walnuts, flaxseeds and chia seeds.
• Antioxidants and Polyphenols – Vitamin C & E, olive oil and green tea.
• Curcumin and Ginger – both contain natural anti-inflammatory compounds that inhibit enzymes responsible for producing inflammatory cytokines.
• Vitamins that support bones – Vitamin D, Calcium, Magnesium and Vitamin K
• Fiber – whole grains, beans and vegetables help lower systemic inflammation and supporting gut health.
