Official title
Effect of Time Varying Walking Velocity in Body-Weight Supported Treadmill Training
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Background: \- Many people who have had a traumatic brain injury have difficulty walking. Training on a treadmill is often used to help people with walking difficulties. Supporting a person s body weight with a harness while using the treadmill can help improve walking skills in people with brain injury. Varying the rate at which people walk on the treadmill may also help more than walking at a constant rate. Treadmill training with body weight support or walking at different speeds may improve walking skills in people who have had a traumatic brain injury. More research is needed to see if one method is better than the other. Objectives: \- To compare the effects of two types of treadmill training in people who have had a traumatic brain injury. Eligibility: \- People at least 18 years of age who have had a mild or moderate traumatic brain injury at least 6 months ago and have mild or moderate walking difficulty. Design: * Participants will be screened with a medical history and physical exam. They will also take a basic walking test (not on a treadmill). * Participants will be divided into two groups. The first group will have treadmill training at a constant speed. The second group will have treadmill training at different speeds. All participants will wear a support harness while walking on the treadmill. * At the first training visit, participants will have a gait assessment with different tests of walking. Then they will have a treadmill walking session. * After the first visit, participants will return twice a week for 6 weeks for treadmill training sessions (visits 3 through 12). They will also have grip strength and walking tests. * At the end of 6 weeks, participants will have a final treadmill training session, and will have a gait assessment exactly like the one in the first training visit. * At 6 months after the final session, participants will have a followup visit with a final gait assessment.
