Brief summary
This study aims to assess the feasibility of Intendu Cognitive Motion-Based Videogames in Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) patients in inpatient treatment and in the community and to evaluate the effects of training on patients' cognitive performance
Detailed description
This study includes three experimental arms to research cognitive video games involving motion interaction in ABI population. The study consists of 4 primary phases: recruitment, assessment, intervention and post-intervention assessment. Two arms involve a randomized controlled study with inpatient participants, where participants are randomly assigned to an intervention or control group. Recruitment phase includes cognitive assessments to evaluate eligibility for the study. In the assessment and post assessment phases cognitive performance is established. Intervention includes 10 computerized training sessions of 30-45 minutes over 3 weeks period using Intendu Functional Brain Trainer (FBT). The control group intervention involves playing commercial iPad games for the same duration. Interventions will be performed in addition to standard inpatient treatment. In addition to the randomized control study, a third experimental arm will be performed, were participants living in the community will perform a similar protocol with cognitive motion-based video games. The recruitment, assessment, post assessment and intervention phases will be similar to the above.
