About this course
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is a major health care concern in the United States, with approximately 1.5 million new cases of TBI annually resulting in 83,000 new cases of permanent TBI-related disability. At this time, approximately 6 million persons, or roughly 2% of the U.S. population, are living with a TBI-related disability. It is an especially relevant healthcare concern in light of the number of recent veterans returning from combat with TBI. While new neuro-imaging techniques and new medications are being developed to refine diagnosis and treatment of TBI, there are emerging concerns and research data to suggest that TBI, particularly severe TBI, may have a significant impact on the “normal” aging process across the lifespan. This course reviews the medical, psychological, and social consequences that can occur over time following TBI and the implications for improving quality of life in this population.
