Postural Motor Activation Deficits After mTBI; Translating Laboratory Findings to Clinical Care

This work will address an important gap in physical therapy rehabilitation after concussion. Physical therapy usually focuses on how the brain processes sensory information such as inner ear and vision for balance rehabilitation, but our recent research shows that people with imbalance more often have a problem with how they can respond to imbalance (i.e., motor activation). While there are complex laboratory tools to test motor activation for balance, these tests are not practical for the clinic. The goal of this study is to create both an exercise intervention focused on motor activation after concussion and simple, but objective and instrumented (wearable sensors), clinical measures of motor activation. Objectives: This research study has three aims. 1) The investigators and study team will develop an exercise program to improve the problems with how one's body responds to imbalance (
