Feasibility and clinical outcomes of a high-intensity physical rehabilitation programme (REHABILITY) for children and adolescents with acquired brain injury
Our findings indicates that it is feasible and safe for children and adolescents with ABI during subacute rehabilitation to engage in high levels of physical activity (>3h p/day). We provide a foundation for future larger-scale studies on effectiveness of increased dosage of physical rehabilitation on daily functioning and participation of children and adolescents with ABI.
