This research study is investigating balance and posture problems that can develop in patients with brain tumors, especially after surgery. Researchers want to understand how common these problems are, what causes them, and how well patients recover over the first month after surgery. The study will use clinical assessments and brain imaging to track changes before and after tumor removal.
While doctors know that stroke patients often develop balance and posture disorders, very little is known about whether these same problems occur in brain tumor patients. By studying this in a structured way, researchers hope to identify which patients are at risk and develop better rehabilitation strategies to help them recover their independence.

If you join this study, you will complete assessments before your surgery (or within the first few days after if that's not possible) and then again at regular intervals for up to 30 days after surgery. These assessments may include tests of your balance and posture, questionnaires about your daily activities, and possibly brain imaging scans. A member of the research team will explain each assessment before you do it, and your hospital support network will help you get to follow-up appointments.
