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 listening to rhythmic music while walking at home can improve balance, mobility, and daily life after a moderate to severe traumatic brain injury.
This study tests if walking in a virtual reality environment helps people with traumatic brain injury improve their balance and walking ability. It uses a harness and VR goggles to make therapy engaging and safe.
This study tests if combining spinal stimulation with walking training can help people with traumatic brain injury walk better. It might be an option if you have weakness on one side and have been stable for a while.
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.
