Astasia-abasia
Astasia abasia is a form of dissociative disorder in which gait becomes impaired in absence of any neurological or physical pathology. The person usually walks in a bizarre manner. He staggers and appears as if going to fall but always manages to catch hold of something in time. Sometimes these people cannot even stand but on the other hand they are well able to move their legs while lying down or sitting.
