ACQUIRED BRAIN INJURY
The broad spectrum of acquired brain injury
A traumatic or non-traumatic brain injury can occur following a variety of incidents and includes any injury to our brain that occurs after birth. This very broad definition means there can be a whole host of changes to the way we move following this event that injures how our brain sends and receives messages from our body.
A traumatic brain injury (TBI) could include a fall, assault, motor vehicle accident, sport injury (such as concussion) and is caused by an external force.
A non-traumatic brain injury (NTBI) is caused by an internal issue such as pressure from a tumor, a brain bleed such as a stroke or aneurysm or a lack of oxygen to brain tissue such as a near-drowning or a heart attack.
As with any neurological movement impairment, a person’s individual challenges with mobility are dependent on a variety of different factors. If you have experienced a brain injury and have mobility goals that you wish to work on, make an appointment with our neurological physiotherapist Lindsay Brown for a comprehensive assessment and treatment plan.
