简要总结
The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of exercise on recovery after traumatic brain injury. Investigators will determine if exercise enhances rehabilitation by increasing substances (proteins) that can facilitate recovery.
详细描述
Exercise-based therapies can promote recovery of function and are easily implemented in the clinical rehabilitation setting. This study will determine if exercise facilitates recovery by improving markers of neuroplasticity and decreasing neuroinflammatory responses. The investigators will also determine if variations in genes involved in neuroplasticity, memory and inflammation influence the responsiveness to exercise and rehabilitation. Particular genetic polymorphisms involved in neuroplasticity and inflammatory responses will be evaluated. Recovery will be determined by assessing cognitive function, life quality and balance.

结局指标
主要结局
Aerobic Exercise Induced Changes in Inflammatory responses to exercise
时间窗: 4 to 30 weeks depending on the duration of rehabilitation coverage.
Selected analytes will be evaluated from serum.
Aerobic Exercise Induced Changes in Cognitive Function
时间窗: 5 years
Attention, processing speed, reaction times, memory and nonverbal reasoning are evaluated by CNS Vital Signs. All scores are aggregated to one reported value (Neurocognitive Index). Scoring is by a computer based auto-scored multivariate scoring system developed by the manufacturers.
Aerobic Exercise Induced Changes in Cardio Pulmonary Fitness
时间窗: 4 to 30 weeks depending on the duration of rehabilitation coverage.
Ventilatory Threshold (aerobic capacity)
Aerobic Exercise Induced Changes in Neuroplasticity responses to exercise
时间窗: 4 to 30 weeks depending on the duration of rehabilitation coverage.
Selected analytes will be evaluated from serum.
次要结局
- Aerobic Exercise Induced Changes in Depression Symptoms(4 to 30 weeks depending on the duration of rehabilitation coverage.)
- Genetic polymorphisms involved in Inflammatory and neuroplasticity responses to aerobic exercise.(4 to 30 weeks depending on the duration of rehabilitation coverage.)
