Robotic Balance Training to Improve Postural Control and Balance Post-Traumatic Brain Injury

Robotic Balance Training to Improve Postural Control and Balance Post-Traumatic Brain


Sponsor

Kessler Foundation

Enrollment

30 participants

Start Date

Jan 1, 2024

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess a balance training program to see if it can be helpful to improve balance and avoid falls in people who have had traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). The study will involve three groups of research subjects: 1) TBI-intervention group, 2) TBI- non-intervention group and 3) the participants without disability group. The TBI intervention Group will participate in 10 robotic balance training sessions. Data will collected pre and post-training. TBI- non-intervention group will not receive any training. They will participate in two data collection sessions which are about 5 weeks apart. The participants without disability group will not receive any training. They will participate in one data collection session.

Interventions

DEVICETBI - Intervention Group

The participants will receive 10 customized robotic balance training sessions to improve balance using the Hunova robotic device. Each session will last for up to 1.5 hours. The training may include standing or sitting on the robotic balance platform and performing the following tasks: maintaining balance when the platform becomes unstable or moving in various directions, or in an inclination; these tasks may be performed as instructed with eyes open or eyes closed condition; move in different directions to reach targets with my hands; stand on one leg or heel to toe and maintain balance; perform head or torso rotation while standing or sitting. All training will be performed with an overhead harness and a spotter will be present at all times.
