A form of gait abnormality characterized by hypertonia and flexion in the legs, hips and pelvis accompanied by extreme adduction leading to the knees and thighs hitting, or sometimes even crossing, in a scissors-like movement. The opposing muscles (abductors) become comparatively weak from lack of use. (Human Phenotype Ontology, HP_0012407)
1 genes associated with the scissor gait phenotype by mapping known disease genes to disease phenotypes from the HPO Gene-Disease Associations dataset.
