Elucidate the Mechanisms, Development and Effectiveness of Balance Control and Gait Strategy After Mild Traumatic Brain Injury: Develop Innovative Design of Computerized Dual-task Balance Module

The purpose of this study is to innovatively design and develop computerized dual-task balance training modules and home modules, and conduct proactive clinical verification to focus on the effectiveness of balance control and gait stabilization strategies. It is expected that in addition to the development of the training module, a proactive study will be conducted at the same time. During the period from the fourth quarter of the first year to the second year, there will be 25 patients in the experimental group and 25 patients in the control group. A total of 50 patients will undergo preliminary efficacy analysis.

After mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), patients often complain of dizziness, balance disturbances, and gait instability. On average, dizziness accounts for about 23 to 81%, and dizziness symptoms persist from 1.2% 6 months after the injury. Between 32.5% in 5 years. In the past, in the process of neuron regeneration and repair after mild traumatic brain injury, it was found that vestibular function and biomarkers may be related to balance restoration and treatment. It is necessary to conduct further research to explain its potential mechanism and clinical significance. In addition, balance training after mTBI can accelerate dizziness recovery, balance control and gait stability, but the effect lasts for a limited time. The development of a dual-task balance training module can extend the recovery time, this project needs to be discussed in depth. This project mainly explores the influence of balance control and gait strategies after mTBI, linking vestibular function and biomarkers; innovative design and development of computerized dual-task balance training and home modules; combined with computerized dual-task balance training modules can accelerate the recovery of dizziness, balance control and gait stability after injury.
