Über diesen Titel

This episode delves into the utility of different walking test paces for predicting gait recovery in normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) patients. We review a study published in Acta Neurochirurgica (2026) that examined the effectiveness of the 10-meter walking test at both normal and fast paces. The research, based on the full text, utilized a prospective design involving NPH patients undergoing ventriculoperitoneal shunt insertion. Findings indicate that a fast-paced 10-meter walking test offers superior predictive power for gait improvement compared to the normal-paced version. Clinicians can leverage these insights to better assess post-operative prognoses. This podcast is for informational purposes and not a substitute for professional medical advice.
