Mobile app-guided dual-task exercise for mild traumatic brain injury
Home-based and Mobile App-guided Dual-Task Exercise for Cognition and Functional Capacity After Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI)
This study is testing a mobile app that guides young adults with mild traumatic brain injuries through a walking exercise program to see if it helps improve their brain and body function.

What this trial studies
This study aims to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of a mobile app-based dual-task walking exercise program designed for individuals with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). The program, known as Brain & Walk Exercise Every Day (BraW-Day), will be tested on young adults aged 18-40 who have experienced mTBI within the last three months to two years. Participants will engage in a 14-day home-based exercise regimen that targets cognitive and sensorimotor functions. The study seeks to address the long-term functional declines associated with mTBI, which can lead to significant health issues and economic costs.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are young adults aged 18-40 who have experienced a mild traumatic brain injury within the past three months to two years.
Not a fit: Patients with active medical diseases, psychiatric disturbances, or those involved in legal actions related to their mTBI may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this intervention could improve cognitive and sensorimotor functions in young adults recovering from mild traumatic brain injury.
How similar studies have performed: While few studies have explored long-term interventions for mTBI, this approach is innovative and builds on previous feasibility testing of similar exercise programs.
