Gait characterization after ventricular peritoneal shunt placement in idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus

Current methods for quantifying gait improvement in idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) are subjective and incomplete. This study demonstrates that patients with iNPH who have undergone ventricular peritoneal (VP) shunt placement demonstrate improvements in gait but still are impaired in comparison to a healthy adult population.
