SP - ePub EP - ePub VL - ePub IS - ePub N2 - There is increasing interest in gait evaluations in clinical settings given the associations between gait and health outcomes. However, efforts examining implementation of gait evaluation in neurological clinics are lacking. Herein, gait implementation within a cognitive neurology clinic is presented. Over a 21-month period, a gait evaluation was collected on 81% of eligible patients (n = 2,622; mean age 73.2±9.5; age range 49-94 years; 47% female). Patients and staff reported being satisfied with the gait assessment. These finding have implications for gait evaluations in clinical settings and for clinical research aimed at understanding the impact of cognitive symptomatology on gait.
