I guess 2

1) shuffling->pakinsonism
2) circumducting
3) wadding->muscular dystrophy
4) staggering->alcoholism
5) steppage or equine

In congenital dislocation, the earliest sign may be a “clicking” sound when the newborn’s legs are pushed apart. If the condition goes undetected at the newborn stage, eventually the affected leg will look shorter than the other one, skin folds in the thighs will appear uneven, and the child will have less flexibility on the affected side. When he starts to walk, he’ll probably limp, walk on his toes, or “waddle” like a duck.

steppage gait is a sign of Foot Drop.
