Brain Injury Rehabilitation at Home
Understanding Brain Injury?
Brain injuries are any brain damage caused by external trauma, internal factors or neurological conditions. These injuries range from mild concussions up to severe traumatic head injuries (TBIs), and can cause a variety of cognitive, behavioral, and emotional impairments. Brain injuries are broadly classified into two types: acquired brain injuries and traumatic brain injury. The former is caused by external factors such as falls or accidents, while the latter is caused by internal factors, like strokes, infections or lack of oxygen. The severity of each type and its symptoms can vary, ranging from mild cognitive impairments to severe physical and neurological disabilities. Treatment and rehabilitation strategies depend on the specific type and extent of the injury, requiring personalised medical interventions, therapy, and support services tailored to individual needs.
