Contributing Factors in Chronic Traumatic Brain Injury Morbidly and the Impact These Have on Rehabilitative Efforts 4048

Thursday, October 31, 2024
2:30 PM – 3:30 PM  
Location:  ROOM: Coronado C REGION: Tower Lobby Level >>> DIRECTIONS: From ACRM Registration desk, face the elephants and turn right. Proceed past the lobby elevators and turn right to enter the West Wing. Proceed down the corridor, turn right and then left. Proceed past the restrooms. Coronado C is the second room on the right.
Symposium will focus on determinants of chronic morbidity following a traumatic brain injury Translational findings as well clinical findings will be presented. Different diagnostic and therapeutic approaches will be presented. Topics will include the predictive value of demographic variables in long term outcome, posttraumatic sleep disturbances, responses to exercise and the influence of stress and diet on outcome. Dr. Griesbach, will present findings from a long-term follow-up study and discuss the application of findings in improving treatment strategies. Dr. Villapol will discuss findings on the role of microbiota on TBI recovery. Dr. Noble-Haeusslein will present the impact of early life stress on long-term recovery.  Dr. Howell will provide data to demonstrate the importance of addressing sleep during rehabilitation.  All panel member presentations will address the impact of sex as a biological variable and discuss relevant rehabilitative approaches.

Learning Objectives:

  • Upon completion participants will be aware of sex as a biological variable and the importance of diversity in brain injury studies.
  • Participants will learn the predictive value of disability measures on long term outcome.
  • Participants will be able to describe the impact that microbiota has on brain injury recovery and will learn about novel therapeutic approaches.
  • Participants will be aware of the impact that early life stress, prior to a traumatic injury to the developing brain, has on the immune system and long-term neurological recovery.
  • Upon completion participants will be able to describe the impact that sleep has on rehabilitative efforts after a traumatic brain injury.
  • Upon completion participants will be aware of sex as a biological variable and the importance of diversity in brain injury studies.
