Traumatic brain injury, often referred to as TBI, is defined as a blow or jolt to the head or a penetrating head injury that disrupts the function of the brain.

2011-02-24
February 24, 2011 (Press-News.org) Traumatic brain injury, often referred to as TBI, is defined as a blow or jolt to the head or a penetrating head injury that disrupts the function of the brain. Over 1.4 million people in the United States sustain TBI annually, with an estimated 12-15,000 New Jersey residents being affected each year according to the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services New Jersey Commission on Brain Injury Research. The leading causes of TBI continue to be motor vehicle accidents, falls, and assaults.

Despite the growing number of people who are injured each year, TBI is often called the "silent epidemic" as public recognition continues to be low. This is further complicated by the fact that the effects of brain injury are often invisible and go unnoticed, leaving the victim to suffer in silence. TBI is a complex injury which often results in a variety of physical, cognitive, psychological, behavioral and social impairments.

The signs and symptoms of impairment caused by TBI depend on the area of the brain affected and may include the following:

- anxiety, nervousness
- behavioral changes
- difficulty controlling urges (disinhibition)
- impulsiveness
- disorganization
- inappropriate laughter
- irritability
- blurry or double vision (diplopia)
- depression
- difficulty concentrating or thinking
- difficulty finding words or understanding the speech of others (aphasia)
- difficulty swallowing (dysphagia)
- dizziness
- headache
- loss of coordination and balance
- difficulty walking or standing
- loss of memory
- muscle stiffness or spasm
- seizures
- sleep difficulties (more or less sleep than pre-injury)
- slurred and/or slowed speech
- tingling, numbness, pain, or other sensations
- sense of spinning (vertigo)
- weakness in one or more limbs, facial muscles, or an entire side of the body
