Summary

This study tests whether a structured vestibular rehabilitation program—including eye, balance, and gait exercises—can improve walking and balance in combat athletes (boxing, MMA, karate) aged 18–30 who have persistent symptoms after a concussion. Participants are randomly assigned to either the vestibular program or standard post-concussion care for 8 weeks. The goal is to see if this targeted therapy leads to better functional recovery than usual care alone.

What this could lead to
