Brain Injury Indiana
Posted on August 20, 2011 by Ronald Todd
A Severe Traumatic Brain Injury or TBI is a major cause of death and disability worldwide and especially in children and young adults. Severe traumatic brain injury causes include but are not limited to falls, vehicle accidents, and violence.
Serious brain trauma can be caused by a direct impact or by acceleration alone. In addition to the damage caused at the moment of injury, brain trauma causes secondary injury, a variety of events that take place in the minutes and days following the injury. These processes, which include alterations in cerebral blood flow and the pressure within the skull, contribute substantially to the damage from the initial injury.
A severe traumatic brain injury can cause a host of physical, cognitive, emotional, and behavioral effects, and outcome can range from complete recovery to permanent disability or even death. Depending on the injury the treatment required may be minimal or may include interventions such as medications and emergency surgery. Physical therapy, speech therapy, recreation therapy, as well as occupational therapy may be employed for rehabilitation.
