Magnetic gait
Magnetic gait is a form of gait abnormality.
Presentation[edit]
The person's feet seem attached to the floor as if by a magnet. In magnetic gait, each step is initiated in a "wresting" motion carrying feet upward and forward. Magnetic gait can be visualized in terms of a powerful magnet being forcefully pulled from a steel plate.[citation needed]
