Improving Balance and Mobility after TBI will provide an overview of evidence-based approaches to addressing balance and mobility impairments following traumatic brain injury (TBI), with a focus on current clinical practice guidelines and their application across the continuum of care. The presentation will highlight key recommendations from established guidelines, emphasizing assessment strategies, intervention intensity, task-specific training, and outcome measurement that support safe and effective rehabilitation.

The presentation will also explore emerging technologies and innovations, virtual and augmented reality, robotics, and neuromodulation, and discuss how these tools are being integrated into clinical practice to enhance balance and mobility outcomes. Emphasis will be placed on clinical translation, including practical considerations for implementation, patient selection, and alignment with real-world rehabilitation settings, with the goal of supporting clinicians in applying current evidence to optimize functional recovery after TBI.
