This case study looks into how alignment and stability could affect the efficiency of gait in a traumatic head injury patient. Body schema, anticipatory postural adjustments, and central pattern generators are discussed. These theories provide a basis for a single case study to demonstrate the importance of alignment and stability to achieve selectivity and efficiency in gait.
