Understanding a Traumatic Brain Injury

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a complex injury with a broad spectrum of disabilities and symptoms. Often, it occurs from a traumatic physical event, but it’s different from a punctured lung or broken bone. These types of injuries often heal and regain their previous function.

The Causes and Effects of TBI

The causes of TBI are diverse. Common causes include:

  • Vehicle collisions
  • Slip and falls
  • Construction accidents
  • Sports injuries
  • Chemicals and toxins

TBI is classified into two categories: mild and severe. If loss of consciousness or disorientation is less than 30 minutes, it’s categorized as mild. Severe brain injury is associated with a loss of consciousness for more than 30 minutes and memory loss longer than 24 hours. Without a doubt, both mild and severe TBI can have profound effects. There may be abnormal speech, limited function of legs or arms, loss of cognitive functions or emotional problems. Some people with severe TBI may be in long-term unresponsive states. Often, long-term rehabilitation is required. TBI often affects not only the injured person but their family.
