What is Traumatic Brain Injury?
Traumatic brain injuries and concussions are injuries to the brain caused by a blow to the head, severe whiplash in which the brain shifts inside the skull or other impact to the head. TBIs can be temporary or permanent. The damage can result in different types of impairment:
•Cognitive – An interruption in the thought processes. With cognitive dysfunction, the brain does not work properly. The symptoms can be as moderate as loss of organizational skills, to memory loss to being so impaired the person is not the same as they were prior to the brain injury.
•Physical – TBIs can result in loss of vision or hearing, tinnitus (constant ringing in the ear), headaches and chronic migraines, comas, seizures, loss of sensitivity in the extremities, and even paralysis. Because the brain affects every function of the body, there is no limit to what physical losses can result from a traumatic brain injury. In addition to specific physical impairment, traumatic brain injury accident victims can suffer from intense physical pain.
•Psychological – Traumatic brain injury can result in a variety of psychological afflictions. TBIs and concussions have even been associated with chronic traumatic encephalopathy, dementia, the early onset of Alzheimer’s Disease and Parkinson’s Disease as well as depression.
