Yes, I've seen that gait before (ironically I taught therapeutic horseback riding for years, now I need therapeutic horseback riding! ) and that's not a problem I have.

I probably won't be seeing a neuro, the brain injury rehab clinic is run by a physiatrist and he is who I saw last week. He's the one sending me to PT and vestibular therapy. They do have a neuro on staff, but it seems unlikely Ill see him.

I hadn't ever read on here anyone talking about gait changes, so I didn't know if it was common or not.
Thanks
