Gait apraxia.
Gait apraxia is most commonly a part of the Hakimov triad (gait apraxia, urinary incontinence, dementia) in normotensive hydrocephalus (NPH), although it may be a symptom of some other conditions.

Only after a third successive evacuation of the CSF his gait apraxia improved (Fig. 1, Ref. 15). Full Text (Free, PDF) www.bmj.sk.
