Purpose:
Determine how mobility changes over 6 months in people unable to walk at 8-weeks post-Acquired Brain Injury (ABI); if there is an association over time between postural alignment and mobility post-ABI; and if alignment after ABI becomes closer to healthy alignment over time.
Methods:
Fourteen adults with ABI, evaluated over 6 months, an...
Objectives:
1) Understand the experience, and personal significance, of mobility skills for people with severe mobility impairment after brain injury 2) Determine how these evolve over time.
Design:
Longitudinal qualitative study.
Participants:
Ten adults, unable to walk at 8 weeks post-injury.
Methods:
Participants were interviewed up to th...
Primary objective: To examine the relationship between postural alignment and mobility skills for adults after acquired brain injury (ABI).
Methods: Systematic review of the literature. Seven electronic databases, grey literature and reference lists of the shortlisted publications were searched. Studies were included if participants were adults wit...

Objectives are to determine:
1. Whether physical activity levels differ between settings (acute hospital, inpatient rehab, home, care facility)
2. If activity levels are associated with mobility outcomes
3. If activity levels or mobility are associated with quality of life
4. How costs of care vary with levels of mobility impairment
5. Perceived factors that may increase or decrease activity levels for people who are non-ambulant at one month post-ABI
6. Access to rehabilitation and factors influencing rehabilitation triage
Aims:
1. Describe the clinical pathway within an inter-disciplinary rehabilitation service for adults with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI)
2. Describe multi-disciplinary clinical practice delivered by a mTBI rehabilitation team
3. Describe the core principles of care and learnings from the mTBI rehabilitation program
To explore the experience, and personal significance, of mobility skills for adults who were not walking 8 weeks following acquired brain injury. Data drawn from 10 participants each completing 1-3 semi-structured interviews over 6 months.
