In case you have a smaller amplitude of your arms’ swing, you may be having serious back issues, such as spinal disc herniation. If your hands feel stiff while walking, make sure to visit a neurologist or an orthopedist.
#4 – Foot drop
Foot drop can be a sign of muscle problems, neurological disorders, and multiple sclerosis. It’s when a person slaps their feet down instead of lifting the leg and gently putting the foot down. In most cases, this happens because of multiple sclerosis, back problems, a pinched nerve, or muscular dystrophy.

#3 – Leaning

Leaning can be caused by a head injury. A person can lean a bit when walking due to difficulty maintaining balance. It should be noted that alcohol isn’t always the reason behind leaning. It can also result from injury. Another thing you should watch for is dizziness after a head injury, especially when going up or down the stairs.
#2 – Snail’s speed

Depression is the biggest culprit when it comes to slow walking. When someone is depressed, they’ll start moving the head vertically, swinging upper trunk, making short slow steps, and moving their arms slowly while walking.
If you know a person who is depressed or feeling sad, you can walk along with them and encourage them to speed up. Amazingly, when we change our walking speed, we can change our mood as well.

#1 – Springing

A springing walk can indicate stiff calf muscles. People who ignore stretching after workouts or women who usually wear high heels could cause stiff calf muscles, which results in a springing walk. Stretching your muscles is very important, skip it and you can cause yourself an ankle or knee injury.
One more advice to keep your knees healthy: slightly bend your knees while walking down the stairs. This will reduce joint pressure.
