Mapping physical activity patterns in hospitalised patients with moderate to severe acquired brain injury - MAP-ABI: Protocol for an observational study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The physical activity level in patients hospitalised for rehabilitation across multiple diagnoses is low. Moderate to severe acquired brain injury further reduces activity levels as impaired physical and cognitive functioning affect mobility independence. Therefore, supervised out-of-bed mobilisation and physical activity training are essential rehabilitation strategies. Few studies have measured the physical activity patterns in the early phases of rehabilitation after moderate to severe brain injury.

Objectives

To map and quantify physical activity patterns in patients admitted to brain injury rehabilitation. Further, to investigate which factors are associated with activity and if the early physical activity level is associated with functional outcome at disc
