Abstrakt: This article, published in the journal Neuropediatrics, explores the feasibility of using instrumented gait analysis to detect impaired dynamic postural control in children after mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). The study involved 37 participants aged 13.32 ± 3.31 years, with an average time since TBI of 5.35 ± 2.92 years. The participants performed gait testing tasks using a smartphone application, and gait parameters such as step length, step cadence, gait velocity, and center of mass displacement were recorded. The results showed that instrumented gait analysis is a reliable diagnostic tool for assessing impairments in dynamic postural control in children and adolescents with mTBI.
