Barriers and Facilitators to Physical Activity Following a Concussion/Mild Traumatic Brain Injury
Overview: You are invited to take part in this research project: Barriers and Facilitators to Physical Activity Following a Concussion/Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI). This is because you have sustained a concussion/mTBI and have experienced symptoms for >10 days. To understand the impact of a concussion/mTBI on physical activity levels, this research project aims to gather data on how active people are following a concussion/mTBI, as well as perceived barriers and facilitators to physical exercise following a concussion/mTBI.
This project is supported by Flinders University, College of Nursing and Health Sciences.
Purpose of the study: The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of concussion/mTBI on physical activity levels in people who have experienced symptoms for >10 days, which is beyond the expected timeframe of recovery through gathering self-reported and objective physical activity levels, and exploring barriers and facilitators to physical activity.
