BrainEx90
BrainEx90 is a combined physiotherapy and occupational therapy treatment group, designed and implemented by Parkwood’s ABI team with a standardized assessment battery and dataset. University students and patient volunteers support the implementation of this program. Participants attend a 90-minute weekly session. Each session starts with 30-minutes of circuit training, followed by a 20-30 minute education session and ends with a second 30-minutes of circuit training. The exercises in the circuit address cognition, vision, vestibular, balance, endurance, and neck dysfunction, as well as a 10-minute 1:1 self-management session with the occupational therapist.
Goals
To evaluate changes in physiotherapy measures, patient-reported measures, and the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure. Preliminary analysis showed positive improvements on all measures.
Explore what changes occur with intervention
Identify characteristics of those participants who seem to improve more than others
Identify what relationships exist between patient-reported symptoms, goal attainment satisfaction
Addition of a long-term follow up survey to determine timing/rates of return to work following discharge
What this means...
For Patients & Families: Improved outcomes to maximize participation in work, self-care, and leisure.
For Clinicians: Support decision making and effective and efficient care delivery.
For Administrators: Access to better data to make decisions about resources and priorities.
For Researchers: Build the evidence for what works best to optimize individual outcomes.
For Our Organization: Lead the field in brain injury clinical intervention research.
