The goal of this implementation study is to improve aftercare for patients with ABI receiving outpatient rehabilitation. The ABI-motion program was developed to improve and active lifestyle and to prevent persistent complaints after ABI and poor HR-QoL.The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Is the ABI-motion program feasible? * What are the health benefits of the ABI-motion program?
Participants will receive brain education, a joint therapy session with a physical or occupational or movement therapist and a buddy from a patient support organization during outpatient rehabilitation, followed by community buddy support after discharge from outpatient rehabilitation, and follow-up by a rehabilitation physician.
