The functional and structural neural correlates of dynamic balance impairment and recovery in persons with acquired brain injury.

ABSTRACT: Dynamic balance control is associated with the function of multiple brain networks and is impaired following Acquired Brain Injury (ABI). This study aims to characterize the functional and structural correlates of ABI-induced dynamic balance impairments and recovery following a rehabilitation treatment. Thirty-one chronic participants with ABI participated in a novel rehabilitation treatment composed of 22 sessions of a perturbation-based rehabilitation training. Dynamic balance was assessed using the Community Balance and Mobility scale (CB&M) and the 10-Meter Walking Test (10MWT). Brain function was estimated using resting-state fMRI imaging that was analysed using independent component analysis (ICA), and regions-of-interest analyses. Brain morphology was also assessed using structural
