What's wrong with walking unsteadily?

In the anatomical structure of nervous system, the parts closely related to walking instability are vestibule, cerebellum, posterior cord of spinal cord, basal ganglia, cerebral cortex and so on. When these parts are sick, there will be symptoms of unstable walking.

If elderly patients suddenly appear unstable in walking, accompanied by dizziness and weakness of limbs, the possibility of cerebrovascular disease should be considered. If the patient gradually develops symptoms of walking instability, accompanied by burning sensation all over the body, decreased and aggravated exercise, the possibility of Parkinson's disease should be considered. Also, if the patient gradually appears the symptoms of walking instability, accompanied by dementia, then we should consider the possibility of brain atrophy in Alzheimer's disease.

And for this disease, taking some drugs for a long time may have side effects and cause this symptom, so the examination is very important. We need to know what causes it and then treat it accordingly.
