Of the estimated 1.4 million people in the United States who sustain a traumatic brain injury (TBI) each year, 1.1 million are treated and released from the emergency room, 235,000.00 are hospitalized and 50,000.00 die. TBI is usually a result of a blow or jolt to the head, which causes trauma to and disrupts the function of the brain. The effects of a TBI can be mild, moderate or severe depending on the extent of the damage to the brain. Symptoms can range from headache, confusion, ringing in the ears, vomiting, convulsions, seizures, inability to waken, or even death. At least 5.3 million Americans currently have a long-term or life-time need for help to perform daily living activities as a result of TBI. The leading causes of these types of injuries are:

• Vehicle accidents and crashes
• Car or automobile accidents or collisions
• Firearm use
• Slips and/or falls
• Shaken Infant Syndrome
• Struck by/against
• Assaults
