Overground Virtual Reality (VR) Gait Rehabilitation for Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) (NCT07038889)

Investigating the Feasibility and Translational Therapeutic Benefits of Overground, Fully Immersive Virtual Reality (VR) Gait Rehabilitation Therapies for Individuals With Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

๐ŸŸก Not Yet Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic โš™๏ธ Medical Device Protocol Sponsor: Indiana University

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

The purpose of this study is to evaluate a new virtual reality (VR)-based rehabilitation program designed to help individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI) improve their walking abilities in real-world settings. By comparing immersive VR-assisted overground gait therapy to contemporary non-immersive, treadmill-based VR therapy (i.e., C-Mill), the investigators aim to determine its effectiveness in enhancing mobility and quality of life for TBI patients.
