Community-Based Wellness for Adults Living with Brain Injury: Evaluating Engagement and Quality-of-Life Indicators in Neuro-Fit One-on-One Sessions

Abstract

This internship project explored how community-based wellness programs may support motivation, engagement, and quality of life for adults living with acquired brain injury (ABI) and traumatic brain injury (TBI). The project took place at Supportive Living Inc.’s Neuro-Fit program, where participants completed individualized one-on-one exercise sessions. A structured observation checklist was developed and used during sessions to measure physical engagement, motivation and effort, cognitive participation, and emotional indicators. Brief reflection questions were also asked to certain participants in order to better understand how the program affected independence, mood, and daily life.
