The main purpose of this research project is to analyze the effectiveness of a Community-based Occupational Therapy Intervention on mental health for people with acquired brain injury. To this end, variables such as quality of life, occupational performance and balance, participation in significant roles and community integration will be measured. The research will be carried out as a non-randomized controlled trial study in which the participants in the experimental arm will receive a community-based occupational therapy intervention (domiciliary and telehealth intervention sessions) based on the stages of the Human Occupation Model's Remotivation Process. The participants at the control arm will receive the regular (public or private) services provision for this population profile. It is expected to be able to demonstrate the effectiveness of the intervention based on a positive result in the change in the variables, so as to increase the chance and performance of occupational participation after the acquired brain injury. Also, it is intended that families and the community are key elements of agency and support in occupational participation.

Functional Independence Measure (FIM)
The scale represents a uniform measurement system for functional independence based on the International Classification of Impairment, Disabilities and Handicaps. It assesses six functional areas (self-care, sphincter control, transfers, locomotion, communication and social cognition) within two domains (motor and cognitive). Each item is scored on a 7-point Likert-type scale. The items are performance-based rather than ability-based and are recorded in a hetero-administered manner.
