Study Summary
This study aims to explore if a yoga-based physical therapy session would promote improved (increased) heart rate variability in subjects with traumatic brain injuries. The results of this pilot study may inform a larger-scale study of the effects of regular participation in a yoga-based program as an adjunct to traditional physical therapy. The secondary objective is to determine whether a yoga-based physical therapy session would impact anxiety, fatigue, or agitation and/or sleep quality. The study will enroll up to 30 inpatient subjects on a rolling basis as they are admitted with traumatic brain injury over a 12 month period at the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab. Each person in the study will participate in three conditions in a random order across three days: 1 hour of yoga-based physical therapy session in a group setting,1 hour of one-on-one conventional physical therapy, and 1 hour of seated rest in a relaxing environment in a group setting. The hypothesis is that individuals who participate in 1 hour of a yoga-based physical therapy session in a group setting will demonstrate a significant improvement in heart rate variability, anxiety, fatigue, and agitation after the session when compared to the same measures after 1 hour of a conventional physical therapy session and 1 hour of seated rest in a relaxing environment. Sleep will also be assessed with an activity monitor.
Primary Outcome
Heart rate variability will be measured by MC-10 sensors placed on the chest.
Interventions
- OTHER Conventional Physical Therapy
- OTHER Seated Rest
- OTHER Yoga-based physical therapy group
