Wearable Technology for Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI) Rehabilitation
This study is looking into new ways to help people with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), also known as concussion, especially those with balance problems. Researchers are testing if using wearable sensors during physical therapy can improve recovery. You would receive either standard vestibular therapy (exercises for balance and dizziness) or vestibular therapy augmented with audio and visual real-time biofeedback. This means you'd wear sensors that give you immediate feedback on your movements during exercises. The study aims to see if this immediate feedback helps improve your overall condition, measured at 8 weeks. They plan to enroll 100 participants. To join, you must be between 18 and 60 years old, have an mTBI diagnosis, and be at least 2 weeks but no more than 6 months past your most recent mTBI.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study comparing two types of vestibular therapy. It plans to enroll 100 participants.
- What's involved
- During physical therapy sessions, you would either wear sensors on your head, chest, waist, and feet or receive therapy without sensors. The primary outcome is measured at Week 8 of the study.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your overall condition will be assessed at Week 8 of the study.

What this trial measures
- Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC)Week 8 of study
This single questionnaire will ask the participant to rate how they perceive their health has changed over the course of treatment. This scale is 1-7 where 1 is no change in quality of life and 7 is a great change that has made all the difference.
