Study Summary

This trial will test a 10-week program (GetUp&Go) to see if it can help people with moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injury increase physical activity and improve mental/physical health.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 who had a moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injury at least 6 months ago, can walk without help, and are able to use a smartphone. They should be mostly inactive but physically able to do more exercise as judged by the study's doctor.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The GetUp&Go program aims to boost physical activity in people with past traumatic brain injuries using therapy sessions and an app called RehaBot. The study checks if this program helps participants become more active and improve their overall health compared to those who wait for treatment.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since GetUp&Go involves physical activity enhancement through therapy and an app, side effects may include typical exercise-related issues like muscle soreness or fatigue. However, specific side effects will depend on individual health conditions.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Placebo Group
Group I: Immediate TreatmentExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
The 10-week GetUp&Go intervention will be delivered entirely remotely, with 2 weekly sessions with a therapist delivered over videoconference (Zoom for Healthcare) followed by 3 sessions in weeks 3, 5, and 8, over Zoom or phone according to participant preference. The overall goal of the intervention is to develop and support a personalized plan to increase physical activity and decrease sedentary behavior, in concert with the unique capabilities, opportunities, and motivational factors of each participant. In session 2 and thereafter, RehaBot will be supplied to participants to deliver therapeutic ingredients to supplement those provided by the therapist.
Group II: WaitlistPlacebo Group1 Intervention
A 10-week waitlist with baseline and outcome assessment, followed by receipt of the full GetUp&Go program.
