Primary outcomePrimary: Dynamic Gait Index (DGI) — 12; 17; 19 units on a scale
Summary
This study will evaluate the potential for improving balance for a single individual with a history of traumatic brain injury (TBI). The participant will engage in supervised therapy using commercial games on the Xbox Kinect. This study will also evaluate the viability of improving cardiovascular fitness using this intervention as well. The investigators hypothesize that balance improvements will occur and that using the Xbox Kinect is a viable way of improving cardiovascular fitness.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- A male or female Veteran participant must have sustained traumatic brain injury greater than 1 year prior to baseline assessments
- Veteran will be between the ages of 18 and 65 years old
Exclusion Criteria
- Veterans with any cardiac condition that may cause sudden decompensation during cardiovascular testing and training (e.g., severe congestive heart failure and uncontrolled hypertension)
- If Veteran has a significant cardiac history (as defined by American College of Sports Medicine), physician approval will be acquired prior to cardiac stress tests
- Veterans with a previous history of behavioral impairments (e.g., aggression or inappropriate actions) that would preclude participation in standard physical therapy
- Veterans with lower extremity amputation
- Veterans that exhibit greater than mild cognitive impairments as shown by a score 17/30 or less on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA).
- Veterans that are unable to stand unsupported for at least 2 minutes
- Veterans that are unable to ambulate on treadmill with bilateral hand support
