Assessment and Rehabilitation of Central Sensory Impairments for Balance in mTBI

NCT02748109 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 132

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Our central hypothesis is that chronic balance deficits after mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) result from impairments in central sensorimotor integration (CSMI) that may be helped by rehabilitation. There are two objectives of this proposal; the first objective is to characterize balance deficits in people with mTBI. The second objective is to use a novel auditory bio-feedback (ABF) device to improve measures central sensorimotor integration and balance control.
