Blinded gait assessment in idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus: reliability and correlation with clinical and patient-reported outcomes
Blinded video assessments reliably captured postoperative gait improvements in iNPH and showed strong inter-rater agreement. While specific gait pattern ratings were less consistent, combining structured video scoring with clinical scales can improve outcome evaluation. More refined tools are needed to better detect subtle changes in gait and to reflect patient-perceived recovery.
