GetUp&Go: Increasing Physical Activity After Traumatic Brain Injury

This study is testing a program called GetUp&Go, designed to help people increase their physical activity after a traumatic brain injury (TBI). GetUp&Go is a 10-week program delivered remotely, which means you can participate from home. It includes one-on-one sessions with a therapist and a mobile app called RehaBot to help you stick to your activity plans. The main goal is to see if participants using GetUp&Go become more physically active compared to those who are on a waitlist. Researchers will measure activity levels and also look at how the program might improve mental and physical health. You may be able to join if you are at least 18 years old and had a moderate-to-severe TBI at least six months ago. The current status of the study is unclear.

Study design
This is a randomized controlled trial with 70 planned participants. You would be randomly assigned to either receive the GetUp&Go program right away or be on a waitlist for 10 weeks before receiving it.
What's involved
You would participate in a 10-week GetUp&Go program, which includes one-on-one sessions with a therapist and using a mobile health application. Your activity levels would be measured at the beginning, after 10 weeks, and again after completing the GetUp&Go intervention.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
After completing the GetUp&Go intervention, all participants will be followed for an additional 10 weeks.
