简要总结
The purpose of this study is twofold: 1) Develop norms for measures of inner ear function and psychological health, and 2) Examine the feasibility of using the MINDGAPS system (a remote monitoring system) to track progress during physical therapy or rehabilitation for inner ear problems following a concussion or mild Traumatic Brain Injury.
详细描述
The intersection between vestibular disturbance and psychological health provides a unique clinical opportunity to address both the modifiable symptoms of vestibular disturbance as well as psychological health. This project aims to advance our understanding of the causal link between vestibular disturbance and poor psychological health and aligns directly with the Traumatic Brain Injury and Psychological Health Research Program (Funding Opportunity: W81XWH-21-TBIPHRP-TRA). Specifically, the proposed research is responsive to each of the three focus areas: Understand- this project is designed to advance the understanding of an established link between vestibular disturbance (e.g., dizziness and poor balance) and poor psychological health (e.g., anxiety, depression, and social isolation) in survivors of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). Prevent- the MINDGAPS system allows for precise assessment of dynamic visual acuity (computerized dynamic visual acuity [cDVA]) and postural sway (instrumented balance accelerometry measure [iBAM]), two objective and extensively validated surrogates of vestibular health. Additionally, MINDGAPS uses these measures to inform care decisions via a user-friendly web application. Treat- vestibular assessment is key to effective vestibular care, as it allows for personalization of treatment programs and monitoring progress over time.
Objective/Hypothesis:
The overall objective of this project is two-fold: 1) Test the preliminary efficacy of the MINDGAPS system to improve psychological health and vestibular disturbance in active-duty and Veteran Service Members (SM) with history of mTBI and 2) refine the MINDGAPS system by developing military-specific normative data and using Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) to incorporate the lived experiences of mTBI survivors, their caregivers, and clinicians in the design of the MINDGAPS technology and intervention.
Specific Aims:
Specific Aim 1 (Preliminary Efficacy): Examine the preliminary efficacy of the MINDGAPS system to improve psychological and vestibular health in active-duty and Veteran SM with sub-acute and chronic mTBI.
