Does Cervical Stenosis Cause Gait Imbalance?
cervical stenosis, I ve read (e.g., USC Spine Center doctor), can cause gait imbalance. There does not appear to be a direct link from nerves exiting the cervical spine and leg functioning, so I m wondering if there is a link through the inner ear. Thank you.

Hello and welcome to `Ask A Doctor` service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advise.
* As per my surgical experience, the cortico spinal tract motor deficits
are responsible for gait imbalance in number of cases with cervical
stenosis depending upon the extent of compression.
Feel free to post further doubts.
Thank you.
