It is not uncommon for a TBI subject to also walk with a tip-toe like gait. They look like they are bobbing up and down as they push off their forefoot and get a vertical lift from the push off. They plant the whole foot but over-emphasize the toe push-off.

Some doctors will use a lack of gait issues as a negative diagnosis of brain injury.
