These issues can mean that your pattern of walking changes and some people find that their stride gets shorter, said Parkinson’s UK.
The health charity added: “You may also experience freezing, where your feet feel glued to the ground and it is difficult to take a step.

“If you experience stiffness in your feet and legs, it can make a heel-to-toe pattern of walking more difficult.”
The site advised: “Rather than striking the ground with your heel and then pushing off with your toes, you may shuffle, or walk in a more flat-footed way.”
