Symptoms of scissor foot

Scissor foot is a condition in which the patient walks with the front part of the foot on the ground, walks on the tip of the foot while the lower limbs are in a straight position, the thighs and knees are close together and the lower legs are slightly apart, and the legs cross forward when walking, like scissors. The scissor foot gait is commonly seen in patients with bilateral damage to the corticospinal tract, so it is common in chronic spinal cord lesions such as multiple sclerosis, spinal cord cavitation, spinal cord compression, spinal cord trauma, ischemic spinal vascular disease, and recovery from myelitis, as well as in patients with cerebral palsy and hereditary spastic paraplegia, so the presence of the scissor foot gait can be a characteristic disease diagnostic gait.
