摘要

Gait disturbance is one of three cardinal signs of Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (iNPH) and is considered as the important factor impeding the function in daily living [1]. Due to varied walking disturbances in this patient population, the aim of this study was to determine gait alteration after cerebrospinal fluid removal by spinal tap test in patients with iNPH.
