His limp is due to jumping off a roof of a bank at fourteen, breaking his right leg, an injury that never fully healed properly. The severity of his limp varies, depending on factors such as cold weather and stress. Genya Safin offered to heal his leg, but Kaz refused, as he views his limp as his greatest strength.
Although it's not said in universe, Kaz unquestionably has symptoms representative of post-traumatic stress disorder. His flashbacks in Shadow and Bone, although dramatized, are accurate to survivors with PTSD who relive the moment of their trauma when certain sights, sounds, and experiences trigger those memories.
Kaz is disabled, and his disability is explored through his characterization, but it doesn't dominate it.

Kazuhira Miller, also known as Master Miller, was known to wear aviator sunglasses most of the time, even wearing them in instances of low lighting, such as indoors or while driving in a thunderstorm, largely because he possessed photosensitivity.
Kaz is not Grisha, nor is he a soldier, an assassin, a spy, or a sharpshooter — he's a club owner with a sharp sense of style and a trademark cane in the shape of a crow. But he is still Shadow and Bone's most dangerous player.
