Using the Xbox Kinect for Chronic TBI
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Traumatic Brain Injury
In brief
This study will evaluate the potential for improving balance for a single individual with a history of traumatic brain injury (TBI). The participant will engage in supervised therapy using commercial games on the Xbox Kinect. This study will also evaluate the viability of improving cardiovascular fitness using this intervention as well. The investigators hypothesize that balance improvements will occur and that using the Xbox Kinect is a viable way of improving cardiovascular fitness.
