A traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurs when an outside force impacts the head hard enough to cause the brain to move within the skull or if the force causes the skull to break and directly hurts the brain.

Traumatic brain injury can significantly affect many cognitive, physical, and psychological skills. Physical deficit can include ambulation, balance, coordination, fine motor skills, strength, and endurance. Cognitive deficits of language and communication, information processing, memory, and perceptual skills are common. Psychological status is also often altered. Adjustment to disability issues are frequently encountered by people with TBI.

If a person is driving a car at 50 miles per hour and is struck head-on by another car traveling at the same rate of speed, the person's brain goes from 50 miles per hour to zero in an instant. The soft tissue of the brain is propelled against the very hard bone of the skull. The brain tissue is "squished" against the skull and blood vessels may tear. When blood vessels tear, they release blood into areas of the brain in an uncontrolled way.

Common symptoms of a Traumatic Brain Injury include:

Anxiety, nervousness
Behavioral changes:
difficulty controlling urges (disinhibition)
impulsiveness
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
Incoordination of movements
Lightheadedness
Loss of balance; difficulty walking or sitting
Loss of memory
Muscle stiffness and/or spasms
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 on an entire side of the body
