Have you or a loved one suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI)? This term covers a wide range of injury types\u2013from a bump on the head to an object penetrating the skull. What these injuries all have in common is that they impact the way your brain works, leading to a wide range of symptoms. Fortunately, the team at Go Physical Therapy Children's Rehab Center can help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Different Types of Traumatic Brain Injuries<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Not all traumatic brain injuries are the same. In fact, experts generally divide them into two broad categories:<\/p>\n\n\n

Penetrating or Open TBI<\/h6><\/span><\/div>

This refers to TBIs in which an object pierces the skull and enters the brain tissue. These injuries typically only affect one part of the brain.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Non-Penetrating or Closed TBI<\/h6><\/span><\/div>

This refers to TBIs that occur after the brain jostles inside the skull due to a sudden external force, such as a fall, motor vehicle accident, or sports injury.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

TBIs can vary wildly in severity. The least severe type of TBI\u2013and the most common\u2013is a concussion. It causes temporary damage to the brain and relatively minor symptoms. However, there are more severe types of TBIs as well, such as contusions (bruising or swelling in the brain)  or skull fractures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Understanding TBI Symptoms<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

TBI symptoms will vary wildly based not only on the severity of the injury but also on the location of the damage. Here are some, but not all, of the possible symptoms of a TBI:<\/p>\n\n\n
