Interventions

  • Physical therapy — OTHER
    The study evaluates three physical therapeutic approaches to improve mobility and balance after traumatic brain injury (TBI).

Study Details

This study will explore whether the types and intensity of the interventions being delivered will yield measurable cognitive benefits in addition to improved mobility and balance. The study evaluates three therapeutic approaches to improve mobility and balance after traumatic brain injury (TBI): Conventional Gait and Balance Training, high intensity step training, and high intensity step training with virtual reality.

Arms

  • Active Comparator: Conventional Gait and Balance Training (CGBT)
    The current approach for walking retraining, Conventional Gait and Balance Training (CGBT) focuses on walking training in a variety of conditions, obstacle management training, functional independence training, strength training, and standing dynamic balance training.
  • Experimental: High Intensity Step Training (HIST)
    High Intensity Step Training (HIST) focuses on the repetition of stepping at higher cardiovascular intensities and yielding a greater number of steps per training session.
  • Experimental: High Intensity Step Training with Virtual Reality (HISTVR)
    The third arm combines virtual reality with HIST, designed to increase cortical excitability while concurrently activating the neuromuscular system.
