Traumatic Brain Injuries

Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) cause a substantial number of deaths and cases of permanent disability in the U.S. every year. According to the CDC, at least 5.3 million Americans require long-term care as a result of these injuries. Brain injuries are generally classified into two categories: mild and severe.

A brain injury is considered mild when a person suffers loss of consciousness, confusion, and disorientation for a period shorter than 30 minutes. Symptoms of mild brain injuries include headaches, cognitive problems, memory problems, attention deficits, mood swings, difficulty thinking, and frustration. Three-quarters of brain injuries are concussions or other mild forms of TBI.

A severe brain injury is one that results in a loss of consciousness lasting more than 30 minutes and a loss of memory lasting longer than 24 hours. Severe brain injuries can cause anything from the impairment of cognitive functions to comatose states. Severe brain injury victims may also experience decreased function in their extremities, abnormal speech, or emotional problems.
