Traumatic brain injury (TBI, also called intracranial injury) occurs when an outside force traumatically injures the brain. TBI can be classified based on severity, mechanism (closed or penetrating head injury), or other features (e.g. occurring in a specific location or over a widespread area). Brain function is temporarily or permanently impaired.
- An estimated 3.17 Million Americans currently live with disabilities resulting from Traumatic Brain Injury.
- 1.4 Million Americans sustain a Traumatic Brain Injury each year.
