MS
From the progress report of a patient with MS.
The whole sentence: Ausgeprägt spastisch-ataktisches Gangbild mit Zirkumferenz rechtes Bein und Streckspastik linkes Bein.
Completely at a loss here. The obvious translation, circumference, doesn't seem to make any sense here - at least none that I can see.
Thanks for your help, as always!

... I added this particular example as to show how "circumferential of the left hand" would look like, so it might just also be the same in your case
