Which condition is characterized by a shuffling gait with small steps and loss of arm swing, often seen in patients with a normal base?

A shuffling gait with small steps and loss of arm swing is likely to be due to idiopathic Parkinson’s disease if the base is normal. However, if the base is widened, it can be seen in conditions such as vascular parkinsonism, normal-pressure hydrocephalus, and the multi-lacunar state. In contrast, patients with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) tend to pivot on their toes rather than turn en bloc .
