Researchers at the University of Utah share how the use of wearable sensors assist in mTBI monitoring and recovery.
Peter Fino, PhD, assistant professor in the Department of Health and Kinesiology and Lee Dibble, PT, PhD, professor in the Department of Physical Therapy and Athletic Training, are leading breakthrough research at the University of Utah on the use of wearable sensors for mTBI monitoring and recovery. The Department of Defense has awarded Fino, Dibble and a multi-site team a $2.5 million clinical trial to use this technology in rehabilitation clinics. Their goal is to improve rehabilitation for individuals after mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) or concussions.
