abstract="BACKGROUND: Long-term physical, cognitive, and psychosocial problems resulting from moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) can prevent individuals from  returning to preinjury lifestyles because of significant challenges with employment,  leisure, and relationships. While physical activity (PA) is proposed as a  cost-effective method to alleviate problems after moderate to severe TBI, there is  no review to date that synthesizes the evidence for PA in the community-based  context. Further, although sex- and gender-based considerations in research are  considered requisite to good science, there is no review on PA and TBI that has  included this explicit focus. <br><br>OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this review is to map and  synthesize the current evidence identified through a systematic search of  community-based PA interventions for individuals of all ages with moderate to severe  TBI and provide an overview of that evidence by asking the following research  questions: (1) what are the characteristics of community-based PA programs for  individuals with moderate to severe TBI, (2) what are the reported health-related  outcomes and measurement tools used to evaluate them, and (3) what considerations  have been given to sex and/or gender? METHODS: Searches will be conducted of six  academic databases for peer-reviewed articles. Two reviewers will independently  screen the articles for inclusion and extract data for the analysis. The extracted  data will be coded according to the Consensus on Exercise Reporting Template  checklist and the Template for Intervention Description and Replication checklist to  provide sufficient detail for replication. <br><br>RESULTS: The abstract screening was  completed by two reviewers and the extracted data were analyzed. A qualitative  synthesis and description of community-based PA interventions for individuals with  moderate to severe TBI will be provided. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: This scoping review will  generate new knowledge from published and publicly available literature. Dissemination of the results will include activities related to knowledge transfer  for community-based PA after moderate to severe TBI for future research and  practice. Evidence-based recommendations, future directions, potential limitations,  use of online/digital components, and the possible need for a systematic review will  be discussed as well.
