For decades, people who have suffered from normal pressure hydrocephalus have had to undergo open brain surgery to treat it.
Background: A vision-based gait analysis system using deep learning algorithms for simple monocular videos was validated to estimate temporo-spatial gait parameters in idiopathic normal-pressure ...
Gait velocity had increased in the open-shunt group and was unchanged in the placebo group at 3 months, resulting in a treatment difference of 0.21 m/s. HealthDay News — Shunt surgery significantly ...
Dr. Michael A. Williams, professor of neurology and neurological surgery at the University of Washington School of Medicine and a hydrocephalus experts, holds an example of a valve for a brain shunt ...
DEAR DR. ROACH: I have normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) and had a spinal tap a few months ago. It helped my brain fog, but my neurosurgeon didn’t want to put in a shunt. I am 96. Can repeated taps ...

Abstract: Gait abnormalities are common in the older population owing to aging- and disease-related changes in physical and neurological functions. Differentiating the causes of gait abnormalities is ...
Personalized gait retraining could be a safe, non-surgical option to reduce pain and possibly slow disease in some patients. It’s one of those “there’s no harm in trying”-type treatments that could be ...
