Portable Warrior Test of Tactical Agility: POWAR-TOTAL
Abstract
The goals of this project are to establish project infrastructure and regulatory approvals, compare POWAR-TOTAL performance in healthy controls (n=60) to those with concussion (n=100)recruiting from Fort Bragg and Madigan Army Medical Center (MAMC), and examine how POWARTOTAL scores change with rehabilitation recovery for those with concussion. We had inordinate delays in regulatory approval at both sites, beginning data collection at Fort Bragg in May of 2018. MAMC is still not approved. We have collected data on 30/60 healthy control participants and 6/50 individuals with mTBI using the POWAR-TOTAL, (2 pre- post-test). We have completed all infrastructure tasks that we have control over (procedures, personnel, equipment, training, database establishment, FITBIR), but are limited by software glitches in the eIRB system that continue to delay MAMC approval. We are implementing additional recruitment strategies at Ft Bragg given mTBI reenrollment has been slower than planned. We will likely require a no cost extension to successfully complete the project given the regulatory delays.
