The condition occurs in children with brain damage and in adults after strokes. A tenotomy sometimes reduces the degree of disability.A gait marked by excessive hip adduction in swing phase. As a re suit, the swing leg crosses in front of the stance leg. This gait pattern is seen in patients with an upper motor neuron lesion, and is accompanied by spasticity.Crossed-leg deformity, a result of double hip disease, in which the patient walks with the legs swinging across the midline with each step.A deformity where the legs cross while walking, caused by a disease affecting both hip joints."}
