Gait and frontal lobe function become associated in patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus after shunt surgery
The associations between TUG time and FAB task performance gradually strengthened over the first year after surgery. FAB tasks involving hand movements were significantly associated with improvements in gait. This analytical approach can be applied to datasets with ordinal predictors in various research fields, such as grading scales used to assess disease severity.
