Abstract
Falls remain common health problems that our elderly population has to face in their daily life, contributing significantly to their morbidity. Patients with astasia-abasia should be recognized promptly though it is uncommon in Singapore. We report a case of a middle-aged lady who presented with psychogenic astasia-abasia. We will illustrate this case with the exhibition of a video showing her gait pre- and post-interventions. Consent was obtained from the patient. Our patient received a multi- disciplinary level of care, including physiotherapy and psycho-education with good response. We performed a non-systematic literature review and we hereby review its description and management.
