Has anyone experienced a change in their gait following their brain injury?

I have, but didn't notice it too much, but they made a big deal of it last week at the rehab clinic. They are going to send me for a vestibular assessment and physio therapy.

My stance and gait is very wide now... feet wide apart... my family says I walk like king kong! It seems to be easier to balance this way, especially at speed.

I can walk with my feet at a normal distance, but it feels like walking on a balance beam or tight rope and I'm rather unsteady and slow. Walking with one foot in front of another is just about impossible without lurching and falling down.

I can walk almost at normal speed with my feet wide apart, though I do sometimes feel a bit unsteady (dizzy isn't the right word but something like that?) if I go too fast.

Just wondered if anyone else has experienced anything similar and what was done to correct it.
