Tardive gait

Tardive dyskinesia (TD) is a hyperkinetic movement disorder induced by dopamine receptor blocking drugs (DRBDs). TD typically presents with stereotypy or dystonia, but may also cause akathisia, myoclonus, or tremor. However, no detailed reports of gait abnormalities have been documented. We report three patients exposed to DRBDs who developed “tardive gait” and conclude that gait dysfunction may be part of the TD spectrum.
