Aerobic Exercise After Traumatic Brain Injury (AER-TBI1)
March 14, 2023 updated by: Grace S. Griesbach, Centre for Neuro Skills
Effects of Aerobic Exercise and Rehabilitation After Traumatic Brain Injury
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.

Conditions
Intervention / Treatment
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.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Intervention Aerobic Exercise (AER)
Consented participants will be randomly assigned to aerobic exercise regimen (AER) + Standard Rehabilitation(R+AER) or Standard Rehabilitation only (R) group.
In order to determine the necessary time window for AER exercise treatment, TBI subjects will partake in supervised AER sessions for a period of 12 weeks.
After a baseline evaluations follow-ups will take place at take place at weeks 4, 8 and 12. Thus each participants will be evaluated 4 times.
|
Aerobic exercise will be performed by utilizing aerobic exercise equipment 3 times per week.
|
Active Comparator: Rehabilitation (R)
Participants with traumatic brain injury that are enrolled in a comprehensive rehabilitation program.
These participants will receive standard rehabilitation.
Given that the duration of the rehabilitative program is variable the duration of participation will be no less than 4 weeks and will not exceed 12 weeks.
Activity levels will be monitored.
|
Rehabilitative program is focused on completion of activities of daily living, initiation, appropriate behavior and community integration for five days per week at the Centre for Neuro Skills.
|
No Intervention: Control (C)
Healthy volunteers' responsiveness to exercise will be compared to TBI responsiveness.

Time Frame: Baseline
|
The 6 Minute Walk Test (6MWT) is a exercise test used to assess aerobic capacity and endurance.
The distance covered over a time of 6 minutes is used as the outcome by which to compare changes in performance capacity.
The goal is for the individual to walk as far as possible in six minutes.
The individual is allowed to self-pace and rest as needed as they traverse back and forth along a marked walkway.
A lower score (reflecting less distance covered in 6 minutes) indicates worse function.
An increase in the distance walked indicates improvement in basic mobility.
