Traumatic brain injury is defined as traumatically-induced physiological disruption of brain function usually manifested by any period of loss of consciousness, memory loss immediately before or after an accident, or any alteration and mental status or awareness. Each year, more than 1.5 million Americans sustain a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Brain injuries claim more than 50,000 lives per year and leave another 80,000 individuals with life-long disabilities.

The most common causes of brain injury in young and middle-aged Americans (ages 16-24) is trauma from motor vehicle accidents and falls. Despite the sheer numbers, TBI is still designated as a “silent epidemic.” For those who survive, brain injury is a life-altering event for the victim and their families. Serious physical, cognitive, emotional and behavioral impairments are a frequent result. In addition, the medical costs are staggering although, as this https://medizin-aspekte.de/neue-technologien-bei-schaedel-ops-94262/ article points out, there is new technology being harnessed to treat head injuries to try and make these treatments as successful as possible. Where changes do occur, often the person with the brain injury is not even aware that they are different, instead attributing problems to daily life struggles. These problems include learning, remembering and organizing information.
