Brief Summary
Modification(s)  
This prospective longitudinal study titled Factors Influencing Functional Recovery in Individuals with Moderate and Severe Traumatic Brain Injury seeks to understand how demographic variables, sensorimotor, cognitive behavioural factors, and other functional determinants impact recovery.

Inclusion criteria will be participants between 18 and 85 years old of either sex with a Glasgow Coma Scale score of 3 to 12 and assessed within 5 to 7 days post injury.

Exclusion criteria include severe systemic conditions, pre-existing neurological or psychiatric conditions, and recent spinal or lower limb fractures.

This study aims to identify factors that can improve recovery strategies by providing useful insights that might help in better treatment plans and enhancing the quality of life for TBI patients.
