What this trial studies
This implementation study aims to enhance aftercare for patients with acquired brain injury (ABI) who are undergoing outpatient rehabilitation. The ABI-motion program focuses on promoting an active lifestyle and preventing ongoing complaints and poor health-related quality of life (HR-QoL) post-rehabilitation. Participants will receive brain education, joint therapy sessions with therapists and support buddies, and follow-up care from rehabilitation physicians. The study will assess the feasibility and health benefits of this comprehensive aftercare approach.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are individuals diagnosed with acquired brain injury who are currently participating in outpatient rehabilitation.
Not a fit: Patients who have contraindications for moderate to vigorous exercise or a life expectancy of less than one year may not benefit from this program.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this program could significantly improve the quality of life and reintegration into social activities for patients recovering from ABI.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown success in implementing community-based rehabilitation programs for ABI, indicating potential for positive outcomes with this approach.
