Exploring the Role of Combined Cognitive and Motor Dual-task Assessment and Rehabilitation for Individuals With Residual Symptoms After mTBI
This research aims to develop an intervention that combines mTBI-specific motor and cognitive
challenges into a progressive and challenging rehabilitation program. We plan to develop and
refine a combined motor and cognitive intervention using healthy athletic young adults (n=12)
and people with a positive history of non-resolving mTBI (n=12). We will conduct limited
feasibility testing by conducting 6 week training sessions with each subject group. We also
plan to identify best measures for determining readiness for duty or full function by
incorporating and testing 3 dual-task assessment measures using state-of-the-art wearable
sensors to quantify movement.

Inclusion criteria-healthy control:
- Adults aged 18-34 years of age.
- Strong history of athletic participation including high school and collegiate varsity
and/or club sports
- Current sport or recreational sport participation at least 3 days per week
- Willingness to participate in 3 times a week 60 minute exercise program conducted at
Courage Kenny Research Center (CKRC).
Exclusion Criteria—healthy control:
- History of concussion.
- History of orthopedic or neurologic diagnosis (stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's
Disease, etc.) interfering with subject's ability to exercise
- Unwilling to exercise.
- At risk for cardiopulmonary disease as defined by the American College of Sports
Medicine.
- Active medical contraindications by self-report after explanation of dual-task
exercise program.
- Active chemical dependency or major psychiatric disorders (ie., schizophrenia, major
psychosis) by self-report.
Inclusion criteria-subjects with mTBI residual symptoms:
- Adults aged 18-50 years of age.
- Self-report of some consistent exercise or activity a minimum of 2-3 days per week.
- 3 weeks to 24 months post most recent concussion seeking treatment at Courage Kenny
Rehabilitation Institute (CKRI) clinics
- Willingness to participate in 3 times a week 60 minute exercise program conducted at
CKRC.
Exclusion Criteria— subjects with mTBI residual symptoms:
- History of orthopedic or neurologic diagnosis (stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson
