Feasibility of a Motor-cognitive Training Program in Patients With Traumatic Brain Injury During Acute Hospitalization

This study focuses on testing a new training program called "StepIt" for patients who have suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI). TBI often results from accidents or falls and can lead to issues with movement, balance, and thinking skills such as memory and multitasking. The goal of this study is to see if a specific type of training that combines movement and cognitive tasks can help improve these abilities in TBI patients, potentially reducing their risk of falls. Given the limited research on such training for TBI patients, this study aims to fill that gap and explore whether this approach is feasible and beneficial. Participants in the study are patients who are hospitalized after a TBI and meet certain eligibility criteria. They will undergo a series of training sessions using the "StepIt" program, which is a short, personalized training lasting about 15 minutes. This training is done alongside the usual care they receive in the hospital. The study will gather initial data before the training starts and evaluate the outcomes after 3 to 10 sessions, depending on how long patients stay in the hospital. Each session's details are recorded to ensure the training is being applied effectively. The focus is on assessing the practicality of the training and its impact on patients' motor and cognitive functions.
