Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Other interventions - Enhanced Physical Activity
Other interventions - Usual Care
Other interventions - Social Interaction

Experimental: Enhanced Physical Activity - Participants in the Enhanced Physical Activity group will receive a program of enhanced physical activity in addition to the usual care.

Active comparator: Usual Care - The Usual Care group will receive usual therapy provided by a multidisciplinary team and social interaction.


Other interventions: Enhanced Physical Activity
Individually tailored programs focused on increasing the amount of time participants spend performing mobility activities, particularly standing and walking in the late afternoons and evenings and on weekends. These participants will be provided with one or two extra sessions on weekdays and two extra sessions on weekend days for the duration of their rehabilitation stay.

Other interventions: Usual Care
Therapy provided by a multidisciplinary team which includes physiotherapy and occupational therapy on weekdays with other allied health input (eg speech pathology, social work) as indicated. Medical and nursing care is also provided seven days a week.

Other interventions: Social Interaction
To control for the extra hours of physical activity that the experimental group receives, participants in the control group shall have additional activities such as card and board games, conversation or reading as well as upper limb exercises and other physical activities that have minimal impact on ambulant mobility.
