awesome... from now on every time i watch this video this comment will automatically pop out in my mind... and, although wrong very wrong, i will laugh my ass off... smh...
In medical school, I also had a wonderful neurology professor who had learned to demonstrate every possible neurological disorder that had a component you could see: gait disturbances, various subtle kinds of epilepsy, on and on. He used to show us what each disorder looked like, even the rarest ones, so that the first time we saw a patient new to us, we could examine and diagnose so much better. He was a wonderful teacher, as this man in the video is.
This gentleman is nothing short of a GENIUS, for being able to demonstrate these gait patterns along with detailed explanations of the underlying biophysics + associated pathologies! I am extremely grateful to you, sir!
This is what has been happening to me, I was only told by my neurologist at my gate was off. I really didn't have an explanation. But what you're doing is exactly the way that I have been walking. I found this to be outstanding information,thank you so much❤
Clicking on the video by mistake with the sound muted is one of my weirdest experiences on UA-cam. I have been reviewing gaits for my OSCE and intended to see another video, but it was still surprising how far the doctor went to explain the gait fully in this video. Awesome! :D
You are an excellent doctor. Thank you for mastering these difficult gaits. You didn't have to do it, but you did, but you did, but you did, and I thank you!
This guy is the greatest demonstrator in the world! After seeing this, I found God and started going to church. I got in touch with my more creative side. I called my mother. This man changed my life
My professor also called this the snooki gait, since you might see it in something as "simple" as alcohol intoxication (and of course, all the way up to something as severe as a cerebellar stroke).
Well done professor. I have ataxia and this is exactly how my body behaves. I call it my drunken gait since it appears that way to others. It can really cramp your style.
Thank you for this video! He is doing it so professionally! I totally believed it was real and got really confused how can he turning in and out the symptomps so fast.. so I checked the comments to be sure that not I am the only one who think this is a veryvery perfectly good video..
Is ataxic gait constant or episodic? I have various levels: 1.) I can feel it and some may notice. 2.) Easily noticeable. Appear drunk. 3.) require stabilization via rollator or stationary object. 4.) Require a firm grasp on a secure object to remain upright. Rollator still works. Hands wobble horizontally when sitting 5.) cannot stand. Gaiting is extreme. I would pull the rollator down with me. Extending arm all the way out will cause it to horizontally sway and become more extreme causing my whole torso to turn with it. I also have classic signs of ocular cerebellar disease. Movement side to side is jerky instead of smooth and there is a recoil effect when I stop them. The vestibular system is fine. No dizziness or nausia. Standing still I have that wobbling you mention.
thank you sir perfect demonstration for what happens in real life with patients having ataxia, i dunno why someone is laughing at this, its really sad seeing someone suffering like this
Are postural instability and titubation exclusive for vestibulocerebellar lesion? Other than walking in tandem, is Rhomberg test also for vestibulocerebellar lesion?
@mistletoe88 Intentionally exaggerated obviously for medical students to know the symptoms when they see a patient. Maybe there would be patients at advanced stages displaying situations as demonstrated...Not only medical students either, from our learning from this vdieo, any one of us can observe similar situations in ourselves or our loved ones and can tell there is a problem, and report to a MD.
This Dr MIGHT be cooler than the one who gave me his labcoat before I was discharged from my hospitalization at Buffalo General with Encephalomyelitis, Encephalitis and (you guessed it) Ataxia
Oz Terri And neither would I want this condition on me or my loved ones. May God make the condition of those who suffer from this easier. But a normal person doing an abnormal thing is funny. So don't take it differently.
How ironic that you don't know the meaning of the word "cynical". Why aren't you aware that the word "cynical" actually applies to you in this situation? I have ataxia which is incurable, my father is in the advanced stages, and my young daughter has also inherited it. Seeing my father struggling to walk, and not able to talk, tends to make me feel very very sad for him, and knowing that I will be suffering the same in a few years, and so will my daughter. That's why when someone very callously laughs at a serious video showing the effects of an incurable illness, it tends to seem rather ignorant and heartless. This is NOT a video meant for humour. There are a billion humorous videos on UA-cam, but this is not one of them. Do you also poke fun at blind people, or soldiers who have had their legs blown off? I guess if someone posted a video of an old blind lady tripping over something, you would think that was a laugh riot too. You should be ashamed. Seriously, ask your mother for her opinion about this, she'd tell you the same thing. Having compassion for other people is just basic human dignity. If you don't understand that, then you have got something missing.
This man deserves an OSCAR!
hahahaha the comment of the year !!
awesome... from now on every time i watch this video this comment will automatically pop out in my mind... and, although wrong very wrong, i will laugh my ass off... smh...
Lmaooo I can’t
Wow
I was thinking the same exact thing! Really got into his role!
it's amazing how far our professors go to explain and hand over the message of medicine to the next generation. God bless them
Because of you, professor, I have no doubt that I will recognize this the moment I see it in clinical practice.
Dr. Larson is a genius. I wouldn't be surprised if the truncal titubation in this brilliantly executed demonstration actually clocks at 3 hertz.
No one explain abnormal gait patterns like him, thanks professor!

i rarely comment on videos but this guy deserve an applaud
many thanks doctor, that was really helpful. All the best to you and to everybody who has contributed to this amazing job

Thank you Doctor your demonstrations are incredible.
Should have won an oscar for this
This was very interesting and helped me understand Ataxia for my Neurogenic Disorders class. Thank you for sharing this!
unbelievable.. incredible man ....🌸🌸thank u .....bend for his talent 😌😭👌🏻
Best demonstration of an ataxic gait I've ever seen. Wow.
My professor also called this the snooki gait, since you might see it in something as "simple" as alcohol intoxication (and of course, all the way up to something as severe as a cerebellar stroke).
Your examples of gait abnormalities are terrific!
Thank you very much! I watched all your gait demonstrations, and they were very helpful to understand the differences.
Well done professor. I have ataxia and this is exactly how my body behaves. I call it my drunken gait since it appears that way to others. It can really cramp your style.
He looked like a physician, notice his pager! Good job, I watched every single one of his gait Vedio. Awesome!
I think that's part of his microphone unit.
Bravo! Top quality abnormal gait patterns.
That was a pretty great demonstration, I couldn't have done it better myself.
This helped me for the Family Med Boards. Thank you.
Huge respect for u doctor , what an amazing demonistration
Gosh, he's sooo good at these!
Truly amazing demonstration, you're very talented!!
Great job! Looks just like the handful of ataxic clients I've seen.
Thank you for this video! He is doing it so professionally! I totally believed it was real and got really confused how can he turning in and out the symptomps so fast.. so I checked the comments to be sure that not I am the only one who think this is a veryvery perfectly good video..
thank you very much, I need know that for my nursing studies.
Holy cow does this guy need to get hired over at the Ministry of Silly Walks.
>< hahahahahahaha
YES
Demonstration is hilarious, but it is good and explained clearly! Thank you.
Wow! Haha, that was fun and scary to watch... I really panicked he might fall! Oh, I hope he knows how grateful we all are for things like this.
the walking home from the club gate!
next to the pub crawl phase
LOL
Wow, great demonstration and explanation! Thank you for putting this together!
why is he so good at this?? And every other gait he demonstrates? Great for learning though! Thanks:)
YOU WERE WAY TOO GOOD AT THE DEMONSTRATION LOL!!
great video man
Paul D. Larsen, M.D.
The University of Nebraska, College of Medicine . Dr Larsen is a brilliant doctor.
Excellent demonstration!
Thank you very much for these excellent videos. They are very usefull to study the different types of gate.

Not much i have Friedreich’s ataxia worse over time really
Your videos are remarkably well done. Thank you very much for sharing them with us. (Med student)
He is one of the most recognized neurologists in the USA
thank you sir perfect demonstration for what happens in real life with patients having ataxia, i dunno why someone is laughing at this, its really sad seeing someone suffering like this
Yeah it is i have Friedreich’s ataxia
Very good demonstration. Can phenytoin/Dilantin alone do this?
Thank you for the clear and concise explanation. A++
Thank you alot sir for this amazing demonstration.
Excellent demonstrator, thanks a lot ❤
This guy is awesome
Very good demonstration!
this is very helpful way to remember this type of CP on exam :D
Thank you
Not just cp, ataxia too
wow, impressive acting skills sir.
Dr. Larsen thank you for sharing this video it is helpful to me in my study
My son is a toe walker; what are the ramifications for this ataxic gait! Thanks
Thank you. Now i will never forget iA
you are an excellent demonstrator!
Thank you so much ..l have got a great benefit from your videos ..gad bless you..
nice demonstration thanks! but is it really that pronounced or is this intentionally exaggerated?
Brilliant sir this video helps me alot
he is so good ! thanks for these videos!!!!!
very helpful for the med students out there! thanks
This helped me understand what this was for my NREMT ;)
Amazing demonstration, thank you
Are postural instability and titubation exclusive for vestibulocerebellar lesion?
Other than walking in tandem, is Rhomberg test also for vestibulocerebellar lesion?
Very well demonstrated!
Looks like youre having a ball! Great demonstration tho!

wow.. love you video , this is so amazing making me understand more... thank you very much
Awesome!!!Thank you for this perfect explanation.
What a demonstration! I know exactly what it means now.
Oh!! You are very good teacher. thank you!
Fantastic Teacher!!
Really u r the best
Haha this is hilarious! I will never ever forget what gait ataxia looks like.
He's sturdy with it too 💯💯
I wish I had a teacher like him. :)
This guy is amazing
beautiful demonstrations n explenations, thnx
Awesome demonstration!
This Dr MIGHT be cooler than the one who gave me his labcoat before I was discharged from my hospitalization at Buffalo General with Encephalomyelitis, Encephalitis and (you guessed it) Ataxia
جزاك الله خيرا يا بروفسير
God bless you doctor
will definitely be remembering what ataxic gait is now1
Omg!! Sir you are amazing!
Well demonistrated, thank you Dr

excellent demo!!!! so helpful 4 me 2 remember hard part!!!!!!!
i saw this video medical student 7 years ago and watching again before board test
this is really helpful...thank you sir!!
Mind blowing acting...
Best demostration
does narrowing the BOS challenge the vestibulocerebellar system?
It different type this about ataxia cerebellar
This dude RULES!
I want to know does the spastic gait can be cured?
Haha well done, but it was funny (not about people who have this condition, but just about a normal person doing it).
ShineyM seems to be funny to you, maybe because you or loved ones don't suffer from this. laugh it up.
Oz Terri And neither would I want this condition on me or my loved ones.
May God make the condition of those who suffer from this easier.
But a normal person doing an abnormal thing is funny. So don't take it differently.
ShineyM great shiney> but I'm wondering why you're finding laughs amongst people's disabilities
Oz Terri Not finding the disability funny. but a normal person doing movements that are abnormal is funny. Why are you so cynical?
How ironic that you don't know the meaning of the word "cynical". Why aren't you aware that the word "cynical" actually applies to you in this situation?
