Objective: The Portable Warrior Test of Tactical Agility (POWAR-TOTAL) is a performance-based test designed to assess active-duty service members diagnosed with mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBIs) and could potentially inform return to duty decisions. To examine the validity and responsiveness of the POWAR-TOTAL measure, this study collected self-reported and performance measures by active-duty service members before and after an episode of physical therapist care.
Methods: Seventy-four individuals, enrolled in care for mTBI symptoms at 1 of 2 concussion specialty Intrepid Spirit Centers, were examined the week that they initiated physical therapy with the intention to return to active duty.
