Since your injury occurred many years ago, I suggest that you talk with your doctor to ask if it would be helpful to be evaluated by a physical therapist. In addition to the changes caused by your brain injury, it is possible that aging over time may also have affected your muscles and coordination which in turn affect your gait as well as your balance. An out patient department with a brain injury rehabilitation program would be a good resource if there is one near you. Dear Adam,
