In the United States, an estimated 1.5 million individuals experience a traumatic brain injury, or TBI, every year. More than 50, 000 of these individuals will die as a result of their brain injury. In March, the Brain Injury Association of America sponsors Brain Injury Awareness Month to create awareness that TBI is a leading cause of death and disability, and to support prevention, advocacy, and research.
A TBI occurs when an external force impacts the head and causes the brain to move within the skull, or causes the skull to fracture and injure the brain.
When the brain is injured, nerve cells and pathways are damaged. These injuries can affect an individual’s ability to think, act, feel, and move. Body functions such as regulating temperature, managing blood pressure, and controlling bowel and bladder functions may also be impaired.
