Restoration of Life Role Participation through Integrated Cognitive and Motor Training for Individuals with TBI

Abstract

Problem statement. In rehabilitation for military personnel and veterans with TBI, we currently face two fundamental problems. First, for those with motor and cognitive dysfunction, current treatment does not restore many to normal everyday function and life role participation. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to restore function and life role participation for military personnel and veterans with TBI by customizing, applying, and testing an integrated cognitive and motor training protocol that was successful in other populations with problems similar to TBI. This will be an A-B study design, with subjects serving as control subjects during Phase A (standard care) and as experimental subjects during Phase , during which they will receive 12 weeks of cognitive and motor training, 5 times per week, 5 hours/session.
