Remember Billy Connolly saying he was first pushed to get a diagnosis for Parkinson’s by a random stranger who stopped him in a hotel lobby and told him he had a specific gait and to go and get checked out and sure enough, Parkinson’s was diagnosed.
My own uncle who died last year also had Parkinson’s and he too had a very specific gait in his case it was long strides that the foot kind of arc-ed out just before it was planted on ground.
I apparently have a strange gait. Don’t know what it is. But in the last six months or so, 3 separate friends have all casually remarked that they knew it was me walking up the street cos they recognised my gait. Got me paranoid!
