This short check helps you describe walking changes you’ve noticed and decide what to raise with a physiotherapist. It doesn’t diagnose a condition or tell you what caused a change.

Keep it safe: This check is about what you have already noticed. Don’t walk without support to complete it. Stop if you feel unsteady, dizzy, or in pain.

Seek urgent help for urgent symptoms. If you have a sudden severe change, cannot walk safely, or need urgent help, call 999 or go to A&E. For other concerns, contact a healthcare professional. This self-check cannot assess you or replace a clinical appointment.
