Test-re-test reliability of walking speed, step length and step width measurement after traumatic brain injury: a pilot study

Brain Injury : [BI]
Mirjam A van LooLeanne Hassett

Abstract

Assess the test-re-test reliability of walking speed, step length and step width measurement in people with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Repeated measures (two test occasions). Thirteen people with TBI completed four comfortable and four fast-paced walking trials of the 10 m walk test and two trials of the 6-minute walk test (6MWT). Walking speed, step length and step width were measured during the 10 m walk test and walking distance and average speed were measured during the 6MWT. The tests were repeated 1-week later. Walking speed and distance showed excellent test-re-test reliability, with an intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) of 0.95-0.96. Reliability was also high for step length and width measurement (ICC 0.91-0.98). This test-re-test reliability means that walking speed and distance and step length and width can be used by physiotherapists to monitor improvements in walking after TBI.

Brain Injury & Trauma

brain injury after impact to the head is due to both immediate mechanical effects and delayed responses of neural tissues.
