Nature-based rehabilitation-experiences from patients with acquired brain injury: an explorative qualitative study.

Purpose: Nature has been found to improve and promote health and prevent disease. Nature-based rehabilitation (NBR) delivered as part of neurorehabilitation is a developing approach. Yet to date the research is sparse.

Occupational therapists and physiotherapists experiences of using nature-based rehabilitation.

Background: Nature-based rehabilitation (NBR) is increasingly used within neurorehabilitation. The theoretical base is rooted in traditional neurorehabilitation professions, especially physiotherapy and occupational therapy, and relate to nature-based approaches.: The objective was to explore the therapists' experiences of and rationale for applying NBR in neurorehabilitation when providing NBR to patients with acquired brain injury (ABI).

Nature-based rehabilitation for adults with acquired brain injury: a scoping review.

The objective of this review was to provide an overview of the existing knowledge of the benefits of nature-based rehabilitation for patients with impairments after acquired brain injury. Systematic searches were conducted across PubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO and Scopus, and seven studies were found to be included for review. Results suggest that nature-based rehabilitation may benefit individuals with acquired brain injury, as both motor - and sensory-motor functions, as well as cognitive functions were significantly improved.
