Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) Assessing Neural Activity During Virtual Reality Walking Intervention
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of using a portable neuroimaging device called functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to successfully analyze fNIRS data in individuals with chronic TBI during treadmill training augmented with VR.
