Overview

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is a type of acquired brain injury caused when an external force, such as an acceleration-deceleration force or a direct blow to the head, disrupts brain function. The severity of TBI can range from mild such as a concussion to severe, resulting in coma or death. TBI can have long-term psychological, cognitive and physical effects that can interfere with a person's ability to lead a productive and happy life. Due to its wide-ranging consequences, TBI is a major public health concern. Treatment of TBI depends on its severity and may include surgery, medication, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and support services. Early and comprehensive treatment can often lead to improved outcomes and higher quality of life for individuals who sustain a TBI.
