What could cause one to step sideways when one attempts to walk forward?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibilities: Could be an orthopedic condition that limits the movement of one of your lower extremity (le) joints, . Could be primary muscle weakness. Could be a spine problem that puts pressure on the nerves that control your le. Could be your brain that is the control center for your gait. Sounds like you need to see your doctor. Start with your primary care physician but may need to see a neurologist.
