Anemia is not typically a direct cause of impaired gait, although it can cause general fatigue and weakness. Other conditions such as muscle weakness, joint pain, impaired central processing and sensory impairment are more directly linked to gait issues.
Important causes of impaired gait include muscle weakness, painful joints, impaired central processing, and sensory impairment. However, anemia is not typically a direct cause of impaired gait. While anemia can cause general fatigue and weakness, it does not directly affect the motor systems responsible for gait like the other conditions listed. A restriction of a blood vessel in the cerebral cortex could affect functions like language and control of motor movements, and symptoms of nervous system disorders often include muscle weakness, problems with coordination, and balance issues.
