A Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is a term used to describe an acquired brain injury resulting from an incident during or after birth. There are various kinds of brain injuries, but a TBI typically occurs due to external forces that cause harm to the brain. Our understanding of its functions remains limited as the brain is responsible for the body's conscious and unconscious processes. Therefore, each TBI is unique, and it is impossible to anticipate the full extent of the harm that may be caused by it.

TBIs can affect cognitive, neurological, emotional, physical, and mental abilities, causing changes in behavior, loss of abilities, and, in severe cases, permanent disability or death. Brain injuries can occur from accidents where the brain is hit, shaken, or thrashed, leading to TBI. Open-head injuries result from objects piercing the skull, while closed-head injuries result from blunt force trauma. Car accidents are a leading cause of TBIs in Arizona, causing over 50% of severe head injuries, followed by falls and violent acts, according to the Arizona Governor's Council on Spinal and Head Injuries.
