Abstract

This article evaluates the utility of the Activity Measure for Post-Acute Care (AM-PAC) as a functional assessment tool for patients with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) across inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation settings. In a prospective cohort study of 186 adults with TBI, the AM-PAC demonstrated sensitivity to longitudinal changes in cognitive and physical recovery over one year, showing medium effect sizes across basic mobility, daily activities, and applied cognitive domains. Compared to traditional measures, AM-PAC scores indicated greater functional improvements, with significant changes observed especially in moderate to severe TBI cases. The findings support AM-PAC as a valid, practical, and responsive measure for tracking functional recovery throughout the TBI rehabilitation continuum.
