Objective: To investigate the effects of group-based vestibular rehabilitation in patients with traumatic brain injury. Design: A single-blind randomized controlled trial. Setting: University Hospital (recruitment and baseline assessments) Metropolitan (experimental intervention). Subjects: total 65 (45 women) mild-to-moderate injury (mean age 39.4 ± 13.0 years) were randomly assigned to intervention ( n = 33) or control group 32). Intervention: Group-based for eight weeks. Participants...
This study aims to assess rehabilitation needs and provision of services for individuals with moderate-to-severe disability investigate factors influencing the probability receiving within six months after traumatic brain injury (TBI). Overall, analyses included 1206 enrolled in CENTER-TBI severe-to-moderate disability. Impairments five outcome domains (daily life activities, physical, cognition, speech/language, psychological) use respective (occupational therapy, physiotherapy, cognitive...
Purpose: The main objectives of this study were to describe long-term self-reported balance problems and explore their associations with post-concussion symptoms performance-based tests. Method: Prospective patients mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI). Self-reported measured the Rivermead Post-concussion Symptoms Questionnaire at 1 4 years after injury. Performance-based tests performed included posturography, Dynamic Gait Index (DGI), walking speed tests, six-minute walk test. Results:...
There has been an increasing focus on vestibular rehabilitation (VR) after traumatic brain injury (TBI) in recent years. However, detailed descriptions of the content and patient responses to VR TBI are limited. The purposes this case series (1) describe a modified, group-based intervention (2) examine changes self-reported performance-based outcome measures.Two women 2 men (aged 24-45 years) with mild TBI, dizziness, balance problems participated 8-week consisting group sessions guidance,...
The High-Level Mobility Assessment Tool (HiMAT) was developed to quantify balance and mobility problems after traumatic brain injury (TBI). Measurement properties of the HiMAT have not been tested in mild TBI (MTBI) population.The aim this study examine reliability, validity, responsiveness a sample MTBI population.A cohort, pretest-posttest, comparison conducted.Ninety-two patients (69% men, 31% women) with mean age 37.1 years (SD=13.8) Glasgow Coma Scale score 14.7 (SD=0.7) were recruited...
Despite existing guidelines for managing mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), evidence-based treatments are still scarce and large-scale studies on the provision impact of specific rehabilitation services needed. This study aimed to describe patients after complicated uncomplicated mTBI investigate factors associated with functional outcome, symptom burden, TBI-specific health-related quality life (HRQOL) up six months injury.Patients (n = 1379) from Collaborative European NeuroTrauma...
To investigate the associations between dizziness-related disability after mild- moderate Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and personal factors, injury-related factors post-injury functioning using International Classification of Functioning, Disability Health (ICF) as a framework.Baseline assessments for Randomised Controlled Trial (RCT) were obtained 65 patients (mean age 39.2 years; SD 12.9 70.8% women) who had dizziness reduced balance 2-6 months injury. The severity brain injury, physical...
Background: Measurement properties of the modified balance error scoring system (BESS) have not been widely reported, and are variable for BESS. Thus, purpose this study was to assess inter-rater reliability minimal detectable change (MDC), criterion validity floor ceiling effects BESS in a healthy adult sample.Methods: Two experienced raters scored total on 42 young adults 21 female, mean age 23.3, SD 3.8). A force plate obtained measures body sway (sway velocity mm/s), represented gold...
: To describe patient-specific problems in functioning related to dizziness and balance patients with mild moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI) a biopsychosocial context. A cross-sectional study where data from the Patient-Specific Functional Scale (PSFS) was linked International Classification of Functioning, Disability Health (ICF). Data 60 were classified into second-level ICF categories, using linking rules. The included 73% women; mean age, 39 (SD 12.9) years TBI (mean GCS 14.5, SD...
