A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is defined as a blow or jolt to the head or a penetrating head injury that disrupts the function of the brain. TBI can result when the head suddenly and violently hits an object, or when an object pierces the skull and enters brain tissue. Not all injuries to the head result in TBI and the severity of the brain injury can range from “mild” to “severe.”

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 1.4 million people sustain traumatic brain injuries each year in the United States. Of these people 50,000 die, 235,000 are hospitalized, and 1.1 million are treated and released from an emergency department.
