@DiegoKaski @drpedrombarbosa @PracticalNeuro @Tim_R_Nicholson None are missing from neurology its terrific.

@ajlees @drpedrombarbosa @DiegoKaski @PracticalNeuro @Tim_R_Nicholson Interesting to see this. Hope to see analysis where ethnicity is taken into account Also how footwear impacts analysis. For instance making a switch to sandals I found I was using my feet/toes more for balance

@ajlees @drpedrombarbosa @DiegoKaski @PracticalNeuro @Tim_R_Nicholson One of the best clinical neurology reviews in recent years. The first three lessons of neurological semiology during my residency were on neurology of gait (I still have the notes).
