Exploring home-based gamified therapeutic training program for long-term management of traumatic brain injury: a case study

26 Nov 2025
Theatre 3

This case study highlights a 5-year rehabilitation journey of a patient with traumatic brain injury (TBI) using a gamified therapeutic program. The approach combined virtual self-training with therapist-guided sessions, leading to significant improvements in balance, confidence, and functional independence. Real-time feedback and adaptable programming supported motivation and long-term adherence, while reducing therapist time and increasing scalability.

  • 1. Gamified rehab enhances adherence
  • Engaging, feedback-driven platforms can sustain long-term participation—even in patients with cognitive or motivational barriers post-TBI.
  • 2. Remote, adaptive therapy is scalable
  • Virtual self-training programs, when paired with minimal but targeted therapist input, can be both effective and time efficient.
  • 3. Multidisciplinary integration matters
  • Embedding digital rehab within OT, physio, and neuropsychology support enhances functional outcomes and promotes holistic recovery.
  • 4. Empowerment supports self-management
  • Gradual shift from therapist-led to self-directed training fosters independence and real-world functional gains.
