Balance Dimensions-Based Rehabilitation Program in People With Acquired Brain Injury (BALANCE-DCA)

8. Juli 2026 aktualisiert von: University of Castilla-La Mancha

Eficacia de un Programa de rehabilitación Basado en Las Dimensiones Del Equilibrio en Personas Con daño Cerebral Adquirido: Ensayo clínico Aleatorizado

The purpose of this clinical trial is to find out whether a rehabilitation program based on different dimensions of balance can improve balance, mobility, walking ability, and quality of life in people with acquired brain injury.

The main questions this study aims to answer are:

  • Does this rehabilitation program improve balance?
  • Does it improve mobility and walking ability?
  • Does it reduce the risk of falls?
  • Does it improve quality of life?

Researchers will compare a specific balance rehabilitation program with conventional physiotherapy to determine whether the balance program provides additional benefits.

Participants with acquired brain injury who meet the eligibility criteria will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. Both groups will receive treatment for 12 weeks.

Participants will:

  • Complete balance and mobility assessments before starting treatment.
  • Receive either the balance rehabilitation program or conventional physiotherapy five times per week.
  • Complete assessments immediately after treatment and again 6 and 12 weeks later.

The information obtained from this study may help improve rehabilitation programs and daily functioning for people with acquired brain injury.

Studienübersicht

Detaillierte Beschreibung

Acquired brain injury (ABI) is a major cause of disability in adults. It can affect balance, walking, mobility, independence in daily activities, and quality of life. Balance problems are common after ABI and may increase the risk of falls.

This study will evaluate a rehabilitation program based on different dimensions of balance in people with ABI. The program is designed to work on proprioception, biomechanical constraints, limits of stability, anticipatory postural adjustments, reactive postural responses, sensory orientation, and dynamic gait stability.

This is a prospective, longitudinal, randomized controlled trial with assessor blinding. The study will include 68 adults with ABI who are receiving active rehabilitation at the State Reference Centre for Brain Injury Care (CEADAC) in Madrid, Spain. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups.

The experimental group will receive a structured multimodal balance rehabilitation program. The control group will receive conventional physiotherapy according to the usual clinical protocols at CEADAC. Both groups will receive treatment for 12 weeks, with five 60-minute sessions per week.

The main outcome will be balance performance, assessed with the Balance Evaluation Systems Test adapted for Acquired Brain Injury (BESTest_DCA). Secondary outcomes will include mobility, walking speed, fall risk, and quality of life, assessed with the Timed Up and Go Test, the 10-Meter Walk Test, and the CAVIDACE questionnaire (Spanish Quality of Life Questionnaire for People with Acquired Brain Injury).

Assessments will be performed at baseline, after 6 weeks of treatment, after 12 weeks of treatment, and at 6 and 12 weeks after the end of the intervention. Data will be analyzed to compare changes between the experimental and control groups over time.

This study may help determine whether a balance-specific rehabilitation program provides additional benefits compared with conventional physiotherapy in people with acquired brain injury.

Balance performance assessed using the Spanish adaptation of the Balance Evaluation Systems Test validated in people with acquired brain injury (BESTest_DCA).
Zeitfenster: Baseline and 12 weeks (end of intervention)
Change in balance performance measured using the Spanish adaptation of the Balance Evaluation Systems Test (BESTest_DCA), previously validated in people with acquired brain injury. The test evaluates six balance control systems and provides a total score ranging from 0 to 108 points. Higher scores indicate better balance performance.

Mobility assessed with the Timed Up and Go test (TUG)
Zeitfenster: Baseline, 12 weeks, 6-week follow-up and 12-week follow-up
Change in functional mobility measured using the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test. The test records the time required to stand up from a chair, walk 3 meters, turn, walk back, and sit down. Scores are measured in seconds. Lower scores indicate better functional mobility.
Baseline, 12 weeks, 6-week follow-up and 12-week follow-up

Zeitfenster: Baseline, 12 weeks, 6-week follow-up and 12-week follow-up
Change in walking speed measured using the 10-Meter Walk Test (10MWT). Walking speed is calculated in meters per second (m/s). Higher walking speed indicates better walking performance.
