Physiotherapy after traumatic brain injury - Physiotutors
IntroductionTraditionally, the management of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) relies on passive rest and gradual activity resumption. While most patients recover within four weeks, up to 30% experience persistent symptoms that may require physiotherapy. Emerging research suggests that physiotherapy after traumatic brain injury could accelerate recovery, yet most evidence comes from non-randomized trials focused on young athletes.This study aims to fill the gap by examining the impact of early physiotherapy after traumatic brain injury versus delayed physiotherapy on balance control in a broader population, including community-dwelling adults often overlooked in mTBI care.By integrating both self-reported symptoms and objective measures like the Central Sensorimotor Integration (CSMI) Test, researchers to explore if early physiotherapy could be the key to unlocking faster symptom resolution and enhanced motor performance.MethodsStudy Design:This randomized controlled trial (RCT) inves...
