The patient has unilateral weakness and spasticity with the upper extremity held in flexion and the lower extremity in extension. The foot is in extension so the leg is “too long” therefore, the patient will have to circumduct or swing the leg around to step forward. This type of gait is seen with a UMN lesion.
