Patients from 18 to 60 years of age recovering after traumatic brain injury are recruited to participate in a multidisciplinary telerehabilitation containing total of 20 video meetings over a period of 4-5 months. The study design consists of a 3-day visit in rehabilitation ward for the pre-treatment clinical assessments and education on the telerehabilitation protocol. A self-exercise program is supervised and monitored using a health platform application on a tablet computer through weekly video meetings.
