Abstract

Brain injury is a health problem of major proportion. Affecting physical, cognitive, and behavioral function, brain injuries can occur as a result of a number of circumstances. For example, it is estimated that each year 1.5 million Americans sustain a traumatic brain injury (TBI) resulting from such causes as injury, accident, toxic exposure, or assault. According to the Brain Injury Association of America (2002), more people experience TBI each year than breast cancer, HIV/AIDS, multiple sclerosis, and spinal cord injuries combined.
