简介
Williams G, Morris ME, Schache A, McCrory PR. Incidence of gait abnormalities after traumatic brain injury.
OBJECTIVE
To identify the most common gait abnormalities presenting after traumatic brain injury (TBI) and quantify their incidence rate.
DESIGN
Case series.
SETTING
Biomechanics laboratory.
PARTICIPANTS
A convenience sample of 41 people with TBI receiving therapy for gait abnormalities, and a sample of 25 healthy controls.
INTERVENTION
Three-dimensional gait analysis.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES
Spatiotemporal, kinematic, and kinetic data at a self-selected walking speed.
RESULTS
People with TBI walked with a significantly slower speed than matched healthy controls. There was a significant difference between groups for cadence, step length, stance time on the affected leg, double support phase, and width of base of support. The most frequently observed biomechanical abnormality was …
