“…As a result of the injury to the brain or spine, a myriad of bodily functions can be impacted resulting in physical, cognitive, and psychosocial impairments. Consequently, rehabilitation specialists are presented with a considerable challenge to positively influence an individual's functioning postinjury (Driver, Harmon, & Block, 2003). One area of the rehabilitation process that specialists frequently recognize as being the most challenging to positively influence is psychosocial functioning (e.g., depression, self-esteem, social support) (Driver, 2006a).…”

Objectives: To provide discussion on (a) the construct of resilience in relation to people with traumatic injuries, (b) potential research directions, and (c) reliable and valid measures of resilience. Conclusions: Resilience as a construct is part of the "positive psychology" movement that focuses on identifying the strengths of an individual when faced with adversity rather than on his or her weaknesses (e.g., depression, anxiety). Although a universal definition does not exist, resilience is generally considered a multidimensional construct consisting of behaviors, thoughts, and actions, which can be learned overtime. Consequently, there is a growing body of literature examining resilience in different populations (e.g., children, older adults). However, there is a paucity of literature examining the resilience of individuals who have experienced a traumatic injury. Potentially, resilience and rehabilitation is a very fruitful line of research due to the extreme adversity individuals are faced with postinjury when dealing with the trauma of the injury and resultant impairments.

“…This could be determined by evaluating scores alongside a measure such as the Community Mobility Assessment [5,30]. CB&M results could assist PTs in providing guidance to teachers and others for adapted physical education/recreation programmes [31]. While the CB&M may apply to other clinical groups, e.g.…”

“…Consequently, affect is placed as the central and driving variable as opposed to self-worth. It is hypothesized that affect adopts a central mediating role due to the strong disturbance in affect experienced after an injury (Armstrong, 1991;Baker-Roth et al, 1995;Brown & Vandergoot, 1998) in response to the physical, psychosocial, cognitive, and lifestyle changes caused by the injury (Driver et al, 2003a). Consequently, feelings become increasingly profound, perhaps especially so when induced by contemplating appearance, ability, or social support.…”

“…The complexity of the disability is exacerbated by the diversity of the problems that result from the insult to the brain, including physical, cognitive, and psychosocial impairments (Kersel, Marsh, Havill, & Sleigh, 2001). Thus, a challenge is presented to specialists involved in the rehabilitation of people with TBI to provide meaningful rehabilitation programs (Driver, Harmon, & Block, 2003a).…”

The purpose was to examine psychosocial factors that influence the physical activity behaviors of adults with brain injuries. Two differing models, based on Harter’s model of self-worth, were proposed to examine the relationship between perceived competence, social support, physical self-worth, affect, and motivation. Adults numbering 384 with brain injuries completed a series of questionnaires measuring each psychosocial variable. The structural analysis indicated a nonsignificant chi squared value and good fit indices for model two which included affect as the mediating variable. Findings indicate that affect is critical in shaping the physical activity cognitions and behaviors of adults with brain injuries. Suggestions are made on practical ways to enhance affect and subsequently physical activity participation.
