Summary

This small pilot study is testing whether walking on a treadmill with virtual reality feedback can help people with traumatic brain injury improve their balance, reduce fear of falling, and lower fall risk. The study involves 20 adults aged 18 to 90 who have had a TBI at least one year ago and report balance problems or recent falls. Participants are split into two groups: one uses the virtual reality treadmill, the other uses a standard treadmill. The main goal is to see if this approach is practical and to gather early data for a larger future trial.
