Multimodal, Enriched Environment for Rehabilitation in Chronic Traumatic Brain Injury (NCT06734026)
Multimodal, Enriched Environment for Rehabilitation
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The goal of this study is to learn if a enhanced environment (Metro Café) with multi model approach (an approach that combines several therapies) in chronic traumatic brain injury improves outcomes of recovery better than traditional therapy. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Determine the amount of therapy dosage (speech, cognition, arm and leg movements) obtained during the Metro Café therapy session. * Evaluate the connection between environmental enrichment dosage (the Metro Café) and clinical outcome scores. Researchers will compare Metro Café Treatment to those who do not receive this treatment to see if better improvements in function after a traumatic brain injury are seen in the Metro Café Treatment Participants will train in the Metro Cafe during the 2-month gap between assessments, for a total of 18 training sessions, each up to 2 hours, 3 times per week. Participants will greet and serve customers drinks and snacks, maintain food supplies at the counters and performs housekeeping tasks with advice and assistance from a supervising researcher as needed,
