Summary

This study looked at proteins in the spinal fluid of 100 people who might have normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH), a condition causing walking problems, memory loss, and bladder issues. Researchers used a new method to analyze these proteins and compared them with walking tests and brain scans. The goal was to learn more about the disease, not to test a treatment.
