Brain Injury
A traumatic brain injury, commonly referred to as a TBI, is caused by a sudden trauma to the head that results in damage to the brain. A TBI can be caused by an open or closed head injury, such as a concussion or scull fracture, and the symptoms include nausea, headache, unconsciousness, amnesia, and permanent mental disability. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), approximately 1.4 million Americans suffer traumatic brain injuries every year, and of these, about 50,000 die from their injuries. Common causes of TBI include:
- Falls
- Auto accidents
- Being struck by or striking an object
- Assaults

Spinal Cord Injury
The CDC reports that nearly 11,000 people suffer a spinal cord injury every year in the United States, and there are approximately 200,000 Americans living with spinal cord injuries. A severe spinal cord injury can result in loss of motor function, paraplegia (partial paralysis), and quadriplegia (paralysis of all four limbs), and can significantly limit a person's ability to care for himself or herself and live independently. The following are among the more common causes of spinal cord injury:
- Auto accidents – the leading cause of spinal cord injury for persons under age 65
- Falls – the leading cause of spinal cord injury for persons 65 and older
- Sports and recreation activities – The CDC indicates that sports-related injuries cause approximately 18 percent of all spinal cord injuries
