Association of Cerebral Small Vessel Disease With Gait and Balance Disorders

Published on July 8, 2022

Just like a bunch of mischievous characters shaking up a perfectly organized dance routine, cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) can throw our gait and balance into disarray. CSVD, a common cerebrovascular disease, has been found to be linked with gait and balance disorders that can increase the risk of falls and lower quality of life. This culprit has two tricks up its sleeve: it can mess with our cognitive functions or directly disrupt the motor pathways responsible for our smooth moves. But here’s the twist: different imaging features of CSVD have their own unique styles of disrupting our gait and balance. Researchers have delved into the correlation between these imaging features and the dance floor mayhem they cause, aiming to provide valuable insights for the standardized management of CSVD. To unlock the secrets of this mysterious connection, why not dive into the full article?

Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) is a common cerebrovascular disease and an important cause of gait and balance disorders. Gait and balance disorders can further lead to an increased risk of falls and a decreased quality of life. CSVD can damage gait and balance function by affecting cognitive function or directly disrupting motor pathways, and different CSVD imaging features have different characteristics of gait and balance impairment. In this article, the correlation between different imaging features of sporadic CSVD and gait and balance disorders has been reviewed as follows, which can provide beneficial help for standardized management of CSVD.
