Abstract
Traumatic brain injuries affect both mental and physical health which can often lead to long-term complications. The Neuro-Fit program allows individuals who have suffered a traumatic brain injury to attend weekly one-hour exercise sessions that target their personal goals. This program has the physical benefits of exercising weekly with assistance and mental health benefits such as creating a community for participants to be social with others in the program along with members of the YMCA. This project focused on functional assessments performed every semester to track the progress of Neuro-Fit participants. These assessments target physical tasks as well as subjective objectives that allow interns and supervisors to see how participants are feeling about their life after a brain injury and the program.
