This pilot study concluded that the program significantly promoted functional recovery for patients and could help patients with traumatic brain injury return to their communities and reduce the risk of institutionalization. Thus, patients with the potential for functional recovery could receive post-acute care in regional or community hospitals immediately after being discharged from acute wards. In the future randomized controlled trials are needed to further confirm the clinical impact of this program.
