Study Details

Heart Rate and Mobility for People with Brain Injury

(IRB#: IRB_00166221)

This study will test how wearing a heart rate monitor and mobility (movement) monitor impacts the health of people with mild traumatic brain injury. The study wants to see how brain injuries affect the ability of the body to regulate heart rate and balance during walking. People in the study will attend one two-hour visit to the study clinic for a health test. Participants will then receive a small heart rate and mobility monitor to wear for one week. Participants will receive $150 for study completion.
