Relationship Between Cognition and Gait at 2- and 12-Months Post-Traumatic Brain Injury

Background: A common and debilitating challenge experienced by people with TBI is gait-associated mobility impairment and persisting cognitive impairments. Cognitive and physical impairments are often addressed independently during rehabilitation, however, increasing evidence links cognitive and mot...

At 12-months post-injury, TMT-B and DS-F was still significant correlated with velocity. TMT-B at 2-months was correlated with SLV and STV at 12-months; and DS-F correlated significantly with velocity. Regression models showed TMT-B at 2-months predicting STV, SLV, and velocity at 12-months.Conclusions: Significant associations and predictions between physical and cognitive recovery post-TBI were observed in this study.
