I believe the clip you're asking about is from Karate Kid. And the video is fascinating because I could see exactly what it looked like back when I used to walk favoring my left leg. Or I don't remember which side I was favoring, but I know I used to walk like that. In my chair, though, I'm much less funny looking. And great dog, River looks lovely.

The fact you impersonated the dysfunctional walks we get- gives MS’rs who don’t understand a visual to see if exactly what you are talking about. I think seeing always helps when teaching. I always encourage Warriors to video their issues for documentation purposes and yo show the doctor and others . It calms other MS’rs to see the SaMe symptoms they are having- being had by another MS’r ❤️

Very nicely done. I challenge anyone to park outside of a supermarket and watch people walk out. You will see that a surprisingly high number of people have some sort of gait disorder. With multiple sclerosis, the types of gait disorders are highly varied, but in other conditions, gait can be so distinctive as to allow a "street corner" diagnosis (Huntington's chorea, parkinsonism, spastic biparesis, CIDP ["steppage gait"]), normal pressure hydrocephalus).

CHICKEN! I saw a chicken! I had a pretty bad relapse 15 months ago. I had to learn to stand, trusting that my muscles would support me, and how to walk again. Nuroplasticity! It’s amazing how many motions you go through to take a step. I had a second relapse seven months after the first that affected my other leg. It was much easier to regain mobility because I had done the entire series of exercises/workouts on both legs. I’m just thankful I can walk :-) I did not return to baseline, For example, I can’t push up to get off the floor if I fall. But because of the big V, I have not gone back to physical therapy. But I’ll keep working, that’s for sure! Thanks for your informative video and for letting your puppy photo bomb it!

You asked if any watching this remembers the last moment they skipped? That memory remains as a child, but I do remember the last time I ran, adult and as yet, unaware of what was in my very near future. So, oddly I was chasing a runaway autumn pumpkin down the street as it bounced in and out of the gutter without once breaking apart! I intended to gain custody of it, so it wouldn't end up tossed apart on my driveway but mischief makers of Halloween. Mind you, that was a good 50-yard run, and there I was, threatening a giant rolling pumpkin with a destiny that involved pureeing it into a bowl. Did I retrieve it? Yes! Whilst my spouse and our BFFs stood on the small rise above me, laughing so hard they could barely stand up. But, yes that's my hardcore memory of that last fine moment. Dr. B, thanks for showing us how it looks when our brain calls in sick for the day. If there is anything positive from this entire mess, it is that we are at least teaching you docs how it really feels? In turn you give us your energy, education, and empathy. Thanks, Florida 1221

Hey Dr Aaron You had me at “skip!” Love love love dis video! I don’t know how you do it. Being a doctor balancing family life and a brand new practice and ur ms village ! :) - It felt like where in clinic taking directions.. for a exam test.. but so different.. so enlighten thx u Here’s an Ex: as in the medical field it must be so structured,so routine.. just as I truely believe in this channel that same structure existed.. -maybe it’s part of the why, to the Boster, and the why to the village that tags behind you. It’s educated, well thought out, and structured in a way that we know what we’re going to get if we watch one of your videos It can be trusted But in a silly way it’s spontaneous somehow if that makes sense -This video I loved so much because it wasent at all the normal Boster video it was kind like you stripped away the “structured “part of the Boster video and made it closer to the Boster that oh wait let’s remind our selfs he’s the doctor ! not an actor and it was such a reminder ur more like us then we may realize Umm awesome of course :) Lol I appreciated how u merged the two ways u could have done this video in to the doctor being “the subject or patient “ but, instead the doctor merging as kinda “one whole” like the “doctor and patient” to show example As I truely loved this video I’d like to see more like it but not to take away from ur normal content both I found wonderful The bosterms Style is magnificent also Sincerely Cynthia Divine God bless. (right now in life i don’t find much joy in anything So. I will thx u for changing that even if it was for a few moments in a silly but educational Boster video :)

My left foot has ALWAYS been like that. My mum took me to a surgeon as a baby who said I'd grow out of it. Many years later I was diagnosed with hypermobility. Physio on the NHS really helped after I moved to the UK, and I've been able to run since my early 30s. I have some stiffness in my right leg now and a tendency to swing it. I fell on my coccyx during a trail run in November and didn't get an x-ray but it was clearly either fractured or bruised. Felt recovered from that by June but since then have struggled with proximal hamstring tendinopathy - another legacy of my hypermobility. So I don't think any of my gait symptoms are to do with MS. I've now engaged a team of professionals to help me work towards qualifying for London Marathon. My last London was a disaster and that WAS MS-related - I had double vision.

I cannot stand on my left leg, I walk like drunk without my cane or walker , I can't do the tandem walk without holding on to someone's hand, I cannot walk backwards without assistance of someone holding both of my hands standing in front of me while I am trying to set one foot behind the other. Sounds awful and it is! I love your "puppy" photobombing the video! He is such a giant baby! give him some extra cuddles from me, will you? Have a great weekend! best regards from Germany, Britta

I have a lot of gait issues that are intermittent. The ataxia when I'm tried or just woken up I cannot walk in a straight line I bounce off things. I also have intermittent core issues. Where sometimes I can sit up straight with no issues other times my body just falls backwards suddenly. this happens all over my body randomly but the most amusing one is in sitting fine then flop.(it's definitely dangerous when I'm standing and suddenly I crumple because of it). Also looking at the one where your foot was landing side first. That's my normal. And has been since I was a kid. They diagnosed me with talipes as far as I'm aware (I had plenty of black eyes as a kid let me tell you). It's all soo confusing. I've always had a waddle thanks to something to do with my knees and hips (and the way my feet land on the ground). I was soo young when they tested for it and all they ever said was don't kneel or sit with legs in a basket (I've learnt over the years my left hip likes to partially or fully dislocate if I do this for any length of time. But unsure in the knees). We were discussing it just yesterday cause I really want to know if it was just a doctor being careful or if they did find anything. This makes me want to know more now. Haha

That was an awesome photo bomb! Up until about 5 years ago I walked on my tip toes. It even learned to walk that way. went to physical therapy for my legs and the tip toe walking was one of the first things they addressed. I don't know if it means anything or not but I often wonder. Even as a small child I remember not being able to sleep because of restless legs. I would cry myself to sleep at night. The same doctors who thought I was going to be a midget and sent me for tons of testing for it said it was growing pains. I see my neurologist this week. I think I will ask him about my gait.

Thanks for this. I'd observe my neurological exams, but I always wonder what it actually meant. I always fail the Tandem Gait after my first year with MS. When I'm not conscious of how I walk, I would actually drag my whole left leg. Ataxia is just my regular thing now. When I walk, my physiotherapist told me that my toes pointed inwards when I walk. So when she asks me to take a casual stroll, she'll always be ready to catch me before I fall. I've been using the forearm crutch to help since last year when the weakness worsened in the left side of my body.

i wish my nero did more of the things you do mine i feel is living it up in paridise and is over worked even though he is a ms speculist and had his own practice in colorado he is very quick to get me out and barely dose any nero side exame even the walking test he only dose in the small room and sometimes my spastic gait and weak ness dosent get noticeable till I'm walking longer ...... just seeing some of the stuff you shown i would deff not enable to do ealzy and it just makes me so sad that this ms speulist is so dismissive of me and even says he wont worry about me till I'm over 10 lisons ...... your videos make me realize how much bias can effect a neros willingness to look deeper ..... into my ms and nero symptoms like my gait as its been the hardest issue ....... my question if you can answer or even make a video about it is with gait issues with spastisty is it possible for both legs to be so spastic it messes with the gait even with mild lison burden ........ and is it common for ms spastisty to sometimes get worse as you walk ...... i know that's my issue as i finally got some feeling back and noticed I'm pushing off and landing a lot more on my toes cuz of my spastic gait the worse is the side muscles and upper thigh muscles and hips that's just contract at different moments in the stride

Hi Doc B! I loved this video...I have the spasticity of left leg and some times spasticity of leg and arm. I don't understand why some times I'm ok to walk, some times only the leg is affected and some times leg and arm. Most of the time it's after a 2-6 minute walk outside. I have it in the house at times but I'm assuming since i don't walk a lot in my house it doesn't happen as often. But so confused as to why I'm walking "good" until that 2-6 minute time frame??? I only have 1 lesion and a positive LP...all symptoms keep going down hill. Some say if you only have 1 lesion you can't have MS???

Doc, do your patient's walk barefoot or perform with shoes on or off during exams? As a patient, I take my shoes off. My shoes add to my stability and grip and I usually don't walk in shoes around the house. Just a thought. Keep up the good work! -MonSter Slayer

It's important to examine the person barefoot for the reasons you have provided. I totally agree with you!

Hi Christine, Great comment. However, I find shoes and socks sometimes confuse my feet. So, my walk is really weird for the first minute or two after I put them on.

My neurologist has never, not even once, done any type of neurological testing on me. What should I do? Thank you, Donna from Illinois
