Implementation of a Gait and Balance Battery of Outcome Measures in an Inpatient Rehabilitation Hospital

The authors aimed to evaluate the implementation of a standardized gait and balance outcome measure battery for physical therapists working with patients who have experienced stroke, brain injury, or spinal cord injury in an inpatient rehabilitation facility. The study found significant improvements in the completion rates of the measures, although the overall battery did not meet the desired completion threshold. The findings suggest that while implementation is feasible, further optimization of the battery and its integration into clinical workflows could enhance completion rates.
