Recent evidence suggests that objective gait assessment may be a surrogate marker for neurological impairment such as TBI. However, the most optimal method of objective gait assessment is still not well understood due to previous reliance on subjective assessment approaches. The purpose of this review was to examine objective assessment of gait impairments across the spectrum of TBI. PubMed, AMED, OVID and CINAHL databases were searched with a search strategy containing key search terms for TBI and gait. Original research articles reporting gait outcomes in adults with TBI (mTBI, modTBI, sevTBI) were included. 156 citations were identified from the search, Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)Gait Impairment in Traumatic Brain Injury: A Systematic Review.PMC8875145RPJ03732PDF-FBS-1898PDF-CRA-2073Vitorio RPowell DStuart SMarshall SJDever ADas JGraham LGodfrey AMason RfalseGait Impairment in Traumatic Brain Injury: A Systematic Review.Gait impairment occurs across the spectrum of traumatic brain injury (TBI); from mild (mTBI) to moderate (modTBI), to severe (sevTBI).
