Walk and think: new app aims to speed concussion recovery in athletes

This study tests a 14-day home program called BraW-Day™ that combines brain exercises (like counting backwards) with walking, delivered via a smartphone app. Researchers want to see if doing both tasks together improves thinking, balance, and mood in athletes aged 18-40 who had a concussion or mild head injury in the past 3-12 months. Participants will do daily 15-minute sessions, provide saliva samples, and complete questionnaires. The goal is to find a safe, easy way to support recovery at home.
