Hi when coding ambulation problems do you use 781.2 abnormality of gait or 719.7 difficulty in walking? When would difficulty in walking be appropirate? thanks Leanne

719.7; my 3M encoder takes me directly to 719.7 when you type in the following: difficulty - walking - unspec.

when dr says gait instability how would you code that?

How about using 781.2~~ gait disturbance.

Hope this helps!
