Prospective quantitative kinematic assessment of patients with normal pressure hydrocephalus

The purpose of this research is to better understand balance and walking in patients with normal pressure hydrocephalus. Balance and walking problems in patients with normal pressure hydrocephalus do not respond well to the typical medication treatments. This research study uses small wearable devices that attach to your clothing and can measure your body’s location while performing walking and balance tests.
