Summary

Most individuals who have survived an acquired brain injury (ABI) present consequences affecting the sensorimotor, cognitive, affective or behavioural components. The conditions can vary from mild to extreme. The consequences of an ABI may have a considerable impact on their functioning, and secondary conditions like depression or sedentary behaviours, so they suffer changes in their Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL). The purpose of this project is to determine the effect of a physical activity group program on HRQoL. As well as to identify factors that facilitate or act as a barrier to practice physical activity.

Detailed description

This study is a quasi experimental pre-post test with nonequivalent group design. There were two groups: 30 subjects with chronic ABI took part in a physical activity group program designed by a Sport Club in Madrid, Spain; and 30 subjects with chronic ABI which did not practice physical activity.

Conditions

• Brain Injuries
• Motor Activity
• Quality of Life
