Augmented Reality and Treadmill Training After Traumatic Brain Injury

NCT04553848 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 31

Last updated 2022-01-28

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Up to 40 participants will be enrolled in this study in order to obtain complete data on 30 participants. The investigators will be assessing if Augmented reality in combination with treadmill training is safe and feasible to use in the clinical environment with participants who have chronic TBI and if there is a signal of effect that this intervention may be more beneficial than treadmill training alone or standard of care.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Augmented Reality

Augmented Reality (AR) systems are computer-based applications that allow an individual to view a simulated environment and dynamically interact within this environment in real-time. Augmented reality activities will be chosen by the therapist based on the primary deficits assessed during baseline testing.

BEHAVIORAL

Treadmill training

The goal of each session will be to increase balance and mobility challenge by increasing speed and minimizing BWS. Appropriate BWS will be chosen at the beginning of each training session. Participants will walk for 1 minute on the treadmill at 30%, 20% and 10% BWS. Maximum walking speed will be determined at each level of BWS and the participant will spend the remainder of the session ambulating with BWS at which they were able to achieve maximum walking speed. Additional BWS will be provided up to 30% of the participant's total body weight if the treating therapist identifies safety concerns or unfavorable gait kinematics. If a safe and kinematically appropriate gait pattern is unable to be achieved at up to 30% BWS, the previously determined walking speed will be reduced to achieve a safe and appropriate walking pattern. Participants will be encouraged not to use upper extremity support while ambulating with BWS.

BEHAVIORAL

Over ground training/standard of care

Standard of care interventions to address balance and mobility deficits will be chosen from a list of commonly used interventions in outpatient therapy. The goal of each session will be to increase balance and mobility challenge in an over ground condition focusing treatment in the following areas: * Biomechanical Constraints * Stability Limits * Anticipatory Postural Adjustments * Reactive Postural Response * Sensory Orientation * Stability in Gait
