Elderly people with weak legs and feet walking without strength and shivering may be related to physiological factors, but also may be caused by lumbar spine disease, Parkinson’s disease, cerebrovascular disease and other reasons.
1. Physiological factors: along with the growth of people’s age, the loss of bone calcium is more, easy to lead to weakened muscle strength, especially the older people, easy to cause the lower limbs muscle strength is very weak, it may show weakness of the legs and feet, walking vigorously, shivering.
2. Lumbar spine diseases: such as lumbar disc herniation, lumbar spinal stenosis, etc., may lead to spinal cord nerve root compression, which may cause leg and foot weakness, walking, shivering, and even serious cases may appear walking on cotton.
3. Parkinson’s disease: this disease is a degenerative disease of the nervous system in the middle-aged and elderly, which can lead to muscle stiffness and tremor, which may cause weakness of legs and feet, lack of energy to walk and shivering.
4. Cerebrovascular disease: common in cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction and other diseases, due to local brain tissue ischemia, hypoxia, resulting in cerebral nerve damage, causing local cerebral dysfunction, which may show weakness of the legs and feet, walking, shivering neurological deficit symptoms.
Elderly people with weak legs and feet, walking and shivering may have other causes, it is recommended to consult a doctor as soon as possible to clarify the cause, and then give targeted treatment.
