Clinical Trial Summary

Severe brain injury (sTBI) is one of the most common causes of long-term disability and is considered the most frequent cause of mortality and serious disability in young adults in industrialized countries. It is defined as an alteration of brain function with loss of consciousness in the acute phase for at least 24 hours (Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) <8) and it can induce a wide range of deficit, including cognitive-behavioural, motors, psychics, language, vision, coordination and balance impairments. Chronic vestibular symptoms such as dizziness and balance deficits (both static and dynamic postural instability) are present in patients with brain injury. These aspects can cause functions limitation and psychological distress, negatively impacting negatively on subjects' quality of life and social reintegration and are considered unfavourable prognostic factors of the recovery process. The literature supports the use of vestibular rehabilitation techniques in patients with mild and moderate brain injury, however, to date, no studies investigated the effect of vestibular rehabilitation in sTBI patients. The main aim of this randomized controlled trail is to verify the effect of a personalized vestibular training on balance and gait disorders in sTBI patients.
