Non-invasive diagnostic evaluation to identify the root cause of walking difficulty.Comprehensive assessment of neurological function, including strength, coordination, and reflexes.Critical first step in developing a targeted treatment plan for mobility issues.Helps differentiate between neurological, muscular, orthopedic, and other causes.Can prevent progression of underlying conditions through early diagnosis.
Who is this surgery for?
- Unexplained change in walking pattern or sudden onset of limping.
- Weakness, numbness, or pain in the legs or feet.
- Loss of balance, coordination, or increased frequency of tripping/falling.
- Suspected neurological conditions like stroke, multiple sclerosis, or Parkinson's disease.

- Bring a list of all current medications, supplements, and medical history.
- Be prepared to describe the onset, duration, and specific characteristics of the limp.
- Note any associated symptoms like pain, tingling, weakness, or balance issues.
- You may be asked to bring previous medical records or imaging reports if available.
- No fasting or special dietary restrictions are typically required for the initial evaluation.
Risks & possible complications
- The diagnostic evaluation itself is low-risk and non-invasive.
- Potential risks are associated with any recommended follow-up tests (e.g., minor discomfort from blood draws, contrast reaction for MRI).
- Delay in diagnosis if the underlying cause is not accurately identified.
- Anxiety or stress related to undergoing diagnostic testing for an unknown condition.
Recovery & hospital stay
- There is no direct recovery period from the diagnostic evaluation itself.
- Recovery depends entirely on the diagnosed underlying condition and its prescribed treatment (e.g., physical therapy, medication, surgery).
- Post-assessment, the neurologist will discuss findings and create a management plan, which may include referrals to other specialists.
- Follow-up appointments are crucial to monitor progress and adjust the treatment plan as needed.
- Adherence to prescribed therapies (like physiotherapy) is key to improving gait and mobility.

Had my gallbladder out last week....
Had my gallbladder out last week. The surgery itself was fine, but the first two days after were rough. Dr. Madhumitha was really on top of my pain meds, adjusting them a few times until it was manageable. She checked on me every morning and evening at MGM, which helped a lot. I'm home now and the recovery is going okay, just taking it slow.
