1. An avoidance or dread of walking: Sally, having basiphobia after breaking her leg in the accident, was afraid of taking a turn outside because she thought something dreadful would happen as a result, such as collapsing, falling, being injured again, or even dying!
2. An emotional incapability to stand or to walk even when there is no diagnosis of a muscle disease: Even though the doctors said many times over that his legs were completely healed and well again, Jack suffered from basiphobia and was terrified of getting up out of his wheelchair!
