Three-Dimensional Multiple Object Tracking and its effects on Functional, Cognitive, and Biological Outcomes in TBI Survivors: A Patient-Oriented Study
Isla Shill
This patient oriented study aims to understand if 5-weeks of cognitive training with NeuroTracker three-dimensional multiple-object tracking (3D-MOT) software can result in improvements in functional, cognitive, and biological outcomes in moderate to severe TBI survivors. TBI is a leading cause of disability worldwide, with an estimated 69 million individuals acquiring a TBI each year.
Despite this prevalence, there is a drastic lack of supports to help survivors manage their symptoms at chronic periods post-injury. Working with the Victoria Brain Injury Society as our patient partner, this study utilizes self-report questionnaires, cognitive assessments, and blood and saliva collection to better understand if 3D-MOT can be used and implemented as a therapeutic intervention for this population.
This research was supported by the Mitacs Accelerate Program, Canadian Institutes of Health Research, Eldercare Foundation, and Sara Spencer Foundation.
