ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at the effects of exercise and physical activity on children who have suffered from acquired brain injuries. The goal is to understand how participating in physical activities can help improve their health and recovery. The study is not yet recruiting participants, but it aims to include children under 18 years old who have a medical diagnosis of a pediatric acquired brain injury and can safely participate in exercise programs.

To be eligible to join the trial, children must have consent from their guardians and be in a health condition that allows them to safely engage in physical activities. However, those with certain medical issues, like severe heart or breathing problems, or those who have difficulties in communication, will not be included. If children can attend and participate in at least 70% of the exercise sessions, they can expect to be part of an exciting program that could help them in their recovery journey.
