Causes of brain injury can be violence, vehicle collisions and falls. Brain trauma is the result of abrupt acceleration or deceleration, or due to the combination of sudden impact and movement. Preventive measures can include use of helmets and seat belts, not drinking while driving, efforts for fall prevention in elders and undertaking safety measures in case of children. Treatment for a brain injury is dependent on its severity, which might be minimal or comprise interventions like medications and emergency surgical procedures. For rehabilitation, therapies can be employed such as recreation therapy, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy and vision therapy. This book is a valuable compilation of topics, ranging from the basic to the most complex advancements in the rehabilitation, treatment and management of traumatic brain injury.
