Diuretics (eg, furosemide 20 to 40 mg once a day with supplemental potassium) can be used for short periods in severely affected patients. However, venous insufficiency is not a volume overload state, and long-term use of diuretics can lead to adverse metabolic complications.
An unsteady gait is an abnormality in walking that can be caused by diseases of or damage to the legs and feet (including the bones, joints, blood vessels, muscles, and other soft tissues) or to the nervous system that controls the movements necessary for walking.n unsteady gait may occur as a result of a temporary condition, such as an injury or infection, or it may indicate a long-term (chronic) problem. An unsteady gait can be mild enough to be barely noticeable or may be so severe as to cause an inability to perform tasks of daily living.
The muscle attaches at the other end to the ilium, which is part of the big pelvic bone. Weakness in the muscle, nerve damage, or problems with the muscle (or structures where it is attached) can cause a limp to develop, such as the Trendelenburg gait. This is an abnormal walking form where a personâs hip drops on the side opposite the damage or weakness, giving their gait a hobbled appearance.
