Shuffling gait
Shuffling gait is a symptom in which a person, when walking, takes small steps with the front of his feet (or even the entire feet) sliding along on the ground. The person shuffling along may also be leaning forward a bit. Shuffling gait can be due to Parkinson disease, a brain disorder.
