Gait, bizarre [Hysterical gait]: Nursing considerations
(Nursing: Interpreting Signs and Symptoms)

▪ Prepare the patient for a full neurologic workup to completely rule out an organic cause of the patient's abnormal gait.

▪ Remember, even though bizarre gait has no organic basis, it's real to the patient (unless, of course, he's malingering).

▪ Avoid expressing judgment on the patient's actions or motives.

▪ Be supportive and reinforce positive progress.

▪ Encourage ambulation and resumption of normal activities because muscle atrophy and bone demineralization can develop in a bedridden patient.

▪ Consider a referral for psychiatric counseling as appropriate.

Patient teaching

▪ Instruct the patient in the use of assistive devices, as necessary.

▪ Review safety measures such as wearing proper footwear.
