Summary

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)patients often suffer from loss of muscle strength in the hand and foot, decrease in coordination and high muscle tone (spasticity). In this study, investigators seek to compare how two different training programs can improve the coordination and symptoms of fatigue in individuals with movement deficits secondary to TBI. Using brain imaging, the study will also investigate changes in brain structure and activity associated with hand movement.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Hand coordination and mental practice

20 chronic (\>1year) moderate to severe TBI patients, with upper extremity movement deficits, will be randomly and equally assigned to two groups. In the experimental group, participants undergo 5 weeks (3 hrs/week) of physical practice training combined with mental practice (MP group).

BEHAVIORAL
