Overview
Brief Summary
Brain injuries are a significant cause of loss of movement. It has been shown that physical therapy can help patients to regain movements. The purpose of this study is to see if it is possible to perform a new exercise program that will help patients regain movement. This new exercise program will involve practicing walking, stairs, jumping and running. Participation in this study will involve physical therapy 1 to 2 times a week for 12 visits over 6 to 8 weeks.
