How to treat walking difficulties in the elderly

Elderly individuals who cannot stand up straight and feel extremely fatigued while walking are often affected by age-related physical decline. However, underlying medical conditions must also be carefully evaluated. Key conditions to assess include coronary artery disease, heart failure, cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral embolism, and lumbar disc herniation. We recommend taking the elderly person to a local hospital for a comprehensive evaluation, including electrocardiography (ECG), echocardiography, and lumbar spine CT or MRI. Targeted treatment can then be initiated based on the findings.
