TBI is a brain dysfunction caused by a blow, bump, a jolt to the head, or a penetrating injury. Most people suffer from TBI that resulted from a motor vehicle crash, fall, assault, or firearm related injury. Studies show that:

Assaults and motor vehicle crashes are common ways to sustain TBI
Falls lead to almost half of the TBI-related hospitalizations
Firearm related suicide is the most common cause of TBI-related death in the country
TBI is generally classified by severity:

Mild TBI or concussion
Moderate TBI
Severe TBI
TBI is a major cause of disability and death. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there were approximately 61,000 TBI-related deaths in the United States in 2019. For context, that is approximately 166 TBI-related deaths every day. For older adults, TBI may be misdiagnosed or missed altogether since symptoms of TBI may overlap with other medical conditions common among older adults such as dementia. This can be a serious issue as older adults are more likely to get hospitalized and die from a TBI compared to other age groups.

Unfortunately, TBI may lead to short- or long-term health problems. Those who suffer from TBI may face numerous health problems that may last a few days, weeks, or for the rest of their lives, depending on the severity of their injuries.

For example, a victim with a concussion or mild TBI may experience short-term symptoms and start to feel better within a couple of months. However, a victim with moderate to severe TBI may experience long-term or life-long effects from the brain injury.

Victims suffering from moderate to severe TBI may experience a wide range of long-term disabilities. One of the most common long-term effects is disability with motor skills which are grouped into two categories:

Gross motor skills – Involves the movement of large body parts such as arms and legs.
Fine motor skills – Involves the movement of smaller body parts such as fingers, wrists, hands, toes, and face.
