Study Details

Telerehabilitation is a service delivery method that has grown substantially in recent years. It has both advantages and disadvantages in comparison to clinic-based services. For example, telerehabilitation is advantageous for people residing in locations in which specialized rehabilitation services are scarce; however, it has the disadvantage of being dependent on reliable internet connections that are not available in all locations. Also, some people prefer the privacy afforded by receiving treatment in their home, but other people prefer the interaction with other clients with similar challenges afforded by attending sessions in clinic-based settings. Other questions about advantages and disadvantages of telerehabilitation remain unexplored. One such question is the focus of this research and concerns the effect of receiving post-acute telerehabilitation services versus clinic-based services on the general well-being and quality of life experienced by people with traumatic brain injury. The study purpose is to compare changes in wellness and quality of life occurring over a four-month period during which people with traumatic brain injury receive post-acute services either via telerehabilitation or at an outpatient facility.
