Summary

This trial will assess using a smartphone and virtual therapy if it can help healthy military & active young adults with recent concussions.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for U.S. military members and active young adults aged 18-40 who've had a mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) or concussion recently, diagnosed by a physician. They must have been physically active before the injury and own a smartphone to download an app.

What is being tested?

The study tests if using your smartphone for virtual Neuromuscular/Dual-Task training can help with recovery from mild TBI or concussion. It checks how practical and effective this remote rehab method is compared to usual care.

What are the potential side effects?

Since this intervention involves virtual exercises, side effects may be minimal but could include discomfort due to physical activity or eye strain from screen use.
