This commentary recommends ways to screen and assess gait and balance remotely for research, but it reports no patient outcomes and does not test whether these methods work.
What this paper is
This is a commentary about remote gait and balance assessments for neurorehabilitation research. It offers suggestions for screening and tests that could be done by video, but it reports no patients, no study results, and no tested outcomes, so there is nothing here to change clinical practice on.
