Robotic balance training for better balance after brain injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether training on a robotic device can help improve balance and posture for people who had a traumatic brain injury (TBI) within the last 6 months to 5 years. It may help if you have some balance issues and can stand without support for 5 minutes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 65 years old.
- You had a traumatic brain injury (TBI) at least 6 months ago but no more than 5 years ago.
- You have been medically stable for the last 3 months since your most recent TBI.
- You can stand without help for 5 minutes.
- You weigh less than 300 pounds and do not have severe heart disease, seizure disorder, or other conditions affecting balance.
- You are willing to not make big medication changes for 4 weeks and can follow study instructions.

This study tests a new balance training program called NEUROBALANCE to help improve postural control in people who have had a traumatic brain injury. It uses a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (TMS) to see if it can help improve balance and walking.
This trial tests a virtual reality program that combines thinking and walking exercises to help improve your balance and walking speed. It may be a good fit if you have a traumatic brain injury and walk more slowly than usual.
This study tests whether spinal stimulation (a gentle surface stimulation on your back and legs) combined with walking practice can help improve your mobility after a traumatic brain injury. It's a research treatment that may help you walk better and with more confidence.
This study tests if adding a gentle brain stimulation (TMS) to robot-assisted balance training helps improve balance after a stroke. It is for people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago and still have trouble with balance.
This study combines cognitive training with motor exercises to see if it helps improve balance and reduce falls in older adults with mild cognitive impairment. You will do exercises and have MRI scans to check how your brain and body work together.
This study tests a balance-focused rehabilitation program for people who have had a brain injury. If you can walk and are reasonably stable, this program aims to help improve your balance and everyday function.
