The HOME Study (Healthy Options Made Easy): Telehealth Nutrition Sessions for People Living With Brain Injury
Brain injury is a leading cause of disability in the United States. When survivors of brain injury recover from the initial injury and return home to live in the community, they often face chronic health conditions that warrant nutrition therapy, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and overweight …
Animal Assisted Therapy After Pediatric Brain Injury: Mediators and Moderators of Treatment Response.
Children requiring inpatient rehabilitation treatment following acquired brain injury (ABI) are at risk for poor engagement in rehabilitative therapies. A within subject crossover design will be used to determine whether involving dogs in physical and occupational therapies while receiving inpatient rehabilitation improves patient engagement, how involving dogs improves engagement, and …
Modeling Outcome in Patients With Acquired Brain Injuries
Acquired brain injury (ABI) is the leading cause of death and disability worldwide. The degree of severity varies according to a combination of numerous demographics, etiological, clinical, cognitive, behavioral, psychosocial and environmental factors, which can interfere with the effectiveness of rehabilitation interventions and, therefore, with the final outcome. The most …
The Parkwood Pacing and Planning™ App
In efforts to assist people who have had a concussion (mild traumatic brain injury), the Parkwood Pacing and Planning™ app has been developed and tested and will be released to the public. The app uses a point system where users have a daily point maximum assigned based on symptom severity …
Implementation of a Home-based Computerized Cognitive Rehabilitation Program for Patients With ABI
Rationale: Patients with acquired brain injury (ABI) may suffer from persistent cognitive deficits and/or subjective cognitive complaints, especially in the domains of attention and working memory. Cognitive deficits are associated with anxiety and depression and may affect social participation and health-related quality of life (HR-QoL). Approximately 25% of the patients …
The Gut-Brain Axis During Neurorehabilitation; Prebiotic Treatment to Alter the Gut Microbiome and Neurologic Symptoms
The aim of this study is to characterize the microbiome of patients undergoing post-acute residential neurorehabilitation compared to community controls and to determine if a dietary fiber, Inulin, can create a shift in the microbiome leading to changes in fatigue and cognition.
Stimulus Equivalence Learning in Acquired Brain Injury.
Stimulus Equivalence Learning (SEL) is a form of learning in which stimuli (such as words, pictures, or sounds) become linked to one another in memory, even though this specific connection has not been directly taught. In a typical SEL task, two relations are taught explicitly (A→B and A→C), and the …
ABI-aftercare in Motion: Multidisciplinary Aftercare in the Home Environment in Patients With Acquired Brain Injury
The goal of this implementation study is to improve aftercare for patients with ABI receiving outpatient rehabilitation. The ABI-motion program was developed to improve and active lifestyle and to prevent persistent complaints after ABI and poor HR-QoL.The main questions it aims to answer are: Is the ABI-motion program feasible? What …
Driving Simulator Training For Adults With Acquired Brain Injuries
The aim of this project is to prepare adults with acquired brain injuries for on-road driving by using the driving simulator and increase participant's comfort level, confidence, and independence within their occupation of driving. The occupational therapy faculty are interested in identifying the impact driving simulation training has on individuals …
Electroencephalography in the Management of Neuroelectric Stimulation in Patients With Severe Traumatic Brain Injuries
The goal of this observational retrospective study is to evaluate the electroencephalography (EEG)'s poficiency in the treatment of neuroelectric stimulation in patients with severe traumatic brain injuries (TBI). The main questions it aims to answer are: Whether EEG of patients with severe TBI will change after they receiving neuroelectrial stimulation? …
