Focus on Secondary Condition Prevention: Decreasing Secondary Conditions in Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)


Several studies have reported that people with TBI are more likely to be sedentary (Mossberg et al., 2007), have greater health problems (Bateman et al., 2001; Dault & Dugas, 2002; Kersel et al., 2001) and experience substantially more barriers to physical activity participation compared to the general population (Rimmer et al, 2004). Deconditioning exacerbates the physical and cognitive disabilities that persons with TBI experience, and persons with moderate to severe TBI may have a low tolerance for physical activity and become easily fatigued (Bhambhani, Rowland, Farab, 2003).
