Neuroimaging findings and balance problems after mild traumatic brain injury: A systematic review protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To systematically review studies relating neuroimaging findings to balance problems resulting from a history of mTBI.

Introduction

Mild traumatic brain injury affects 55.9 million people worldwide every year. These injuries can have persistent symptoms such as maintaining balance which can be life-altering. Difficulties maintaining balance persist months or years after a mild traumatic brain injury in >30% of patients. Neuroimaging modalities, including magnetic resonance imaging, diffusion-weighted imaging, functional magnetic resonance imaging, electroencephalography, and magnetoencephalography, have been associated with presentation or persistence of balance difficulties, but no clinical guidelines are currently in place.
