Summary

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of individualized aerobic exercise regimen on recovery after traumatic brain injury (TBI).Investigators will determine if exercise facilitates recovery by facilitating neuroplasticity and decreasing neuroinflammation.

Detailed description

Exercise-based therapies can promote recovery of function and are easily implemented in the clinical rehabilitation setting. This study will determine if exercise facilitates recovery by improving markers of neuroplasticity and decreasing neuroinflammatory responses. The investigators will also determine if variations in genes involved in neuroplasticity, and inflammation influence the responsiveness to exercise and rehabilitation. Recovery will be determined by assessing cognitive function, life quality and balance.

Conditions
