Reactive Balance Deficits Differ in People After Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Based on Chronicity of Self-Reported Symptoms.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundMild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) can lead to persistent balance impairments, affecting daily functioning. While mTBI deficits in static and dynamic balance are well-documented, reactive balance-essential for recovering from perturbations-remains understudied, and the relationship with symptom severity and quality of life remains unclear.
objectiveExamine reactive balance across different stages of mTBI recovery and its association with self-reported symptoms and quality of life.
methodsThis cross-sectional study included 82 participants: 19 with acute (4-14 days post-injury), 11 with sub-acute (3-12 weeks post-injury), 11 with chronic (>12 weeks post-injury) mTBI, and 41 healthy controls. Reactive balance was assessed using the Instrumented-modified Push and Release under both single and cognitive dual-task conditions, measuring time to stability and step latency.
resultsParticipants with acute mTBI had longer step latencies (
conclusionsReactive balance deficits persist chronically after mTBI and differ between people with acute, sub-acute, and chronic symptoms. These differences suggest people with chronic symptoms may prioritize different aspects of balance control compared to the people in the acute stage of recovery related to functional adaptations to self-reported symptoms.
