People who are injured move differently

Like we have said before, often times when folks are injured they often lose cortical function (afferent input) from a particular area, and their gait becomes more primitive, often taking a broader base, slower movement, increased amplitude of movement and sometimes requiring assistance or something to help them balance, like our post here: 

"Findings suggest that movement variability in those with a musculo-skeletal injury differs from uninjured individuals. Interestingly, there was an overall trend toward greater movement variability being associated with the injured groups, although it should be noted that this trend was not consistent across all subcategories (eg, injury type). "
