COVID-19's impact on a community-based physical activity program for adults with moderate-to-severe TBI

Author(s): Quilico EL; Wilkinson S; Bédard E; Duncan LR; Sweet SN; Swaine BR; Colantonio A;

Purpose: Physical activity (PA) is proposed for long-term problems after traumatic brain injury (TBI) with mood, quality of life, and participation. However, COVID-19 mitigation strategies resulted in widespread closures of community-based fitness centres, including one housing a peer-assisted PA program (TBI-Health). The purpose of this ...
