What Causes Imbalance In The Legs While Walking?

I have a friend who shuffles her feet when she walks. She is worried she is going to fall, because feels of balence. She walks with a cane or two walking sticks if walking outside. Everything else seems normal. Do these symptoms point to any medical condition? This is not me!
