7. Why might results from stroke be hard to apply to TBI patients
Reasons for botox is too different to apply results to population
Aetiology of spasticity is too different to apply results to population
TBI patients have aggressive behaviours and low mood so may not tolerate treatment
Reasons for splinting is too different to apply results to population
8. 2019 RCT found statistically significant improvement in dizziness and mobility following vestibular rehab. What were the limitations of the study.

physio's all think differently. Not enough questions
high inter/intra rater reliability - some debate to say opposite. Self-reported - most evidence to support reliability
low inter/intra rater reliability - some debate to say opposite. Self-reported - most evidence to support reliability

Low participant numbers - only 50 participants
