This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), aims to evaluate an innovative, immersive rehabilitation therapy for adults with severe traumatic brain injury (STBI). The $243,525 grant will fund a randomized controlled pilot study comparing the effects of the "Therapeutic Cafe" immersive therapy to conventional physical and occupational therapy over a 6-week period. The immersive therapy will involve participants working in a functioning kiosk located in a hospital cafeteria, engaging in tasks such as interacting with customers, handling payments, and restocking items. The study will measure outcomes related to gait, balance, upper limb function, cognition, and physical activity to determine if the real-world, vocational nature of the immersive therapy provides greater functional improvements compared to traditional therapy approaches. This innovative grant project aims to develop an enriched, community-based rehabilitation option for individuals with the most severe level of traumatic brain injury.
