A Virtual Reality System for Delivery of Military-Specific Vestibular Rehabilitation After Mild Traumatic Brain Injury: The Praxis Study Protocol

In an article by Alroumi et al. (2025), treatment of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) through the use of virtual reality (VR) system was investigated. This study utilized a specific VR system, which helps mimic military-specific tasks for soldiers post-mTBI. The goal of this project is to investigate the feasibility of using this VR system to help improve a soldier’s symptoms and decrease recovery time. Outcomes were measured through functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), improvements in the VR-task protocols, overall program compliance, improvements in the System Usability Scale (SUS), and overall neuropsychological improvements. Pending study results, these researchers hope to use this information in the creation of a larger-scale study.
