Summary

The purpose of this study is to test the efficacy of a walking and balance training program designed to safely challenge and improve walking performance and balance in relation to walking speed, strength, endurance, and balance after traumatic brain injury (TBI).

The aim and primary hypothesis of this research project is:

Aim) Test and implement a new personalized intervention strategy, in addition to usual and customary care at an inpatient rehabilitation clinic, to improve patient outcomes with secondary conditions associated with impaired balance and walking that typically occur post brain injury. After validation of the locomotor Battery of tests, we will implement a personalized training strategy for individuals based on their battery profile.

Hypothesis) Individuals training with this individualized protocol will demonstrate improved walking and balance outcomes and those with lesser pre-intervention impairment will improve at a greater rate than those with greater pre-intervention impairment.

Interventions

DEVICE

KineAssist robotic treadmill

A formal standardization procedure will be used. Prior to testing, the participant's weight, height, age, blood pressure, and resting heart rate will be recorded. Each session will take place over a 1 hour period. All of our participants will have 1 evaluation sessions prior to the training sessions (overground) and 1 evaluation sessions at the end of the training sessions (overground). Each participant will have the training sessions up to 3 times each week. The total number of training sessions would be 12-16 sessions (based on duration of stay) of robotic treadmill training for, distributed equally over each specific training modality (Endurance x 4, Strength x 4, Speed x 4, and Dynamic Balance x 4).
