Traumatic brain injury (TBI) refers to damage to the brain from a physical force.
This can include falls, car accidents, or gunshots, among other causes. TBI can cause
difficulties with cognition (thinking) and function (movement). More than 2.5 million
Americans experience a TBI each year. Many individuals with TBI do not complete regular
physical activity.
