About Brain Injury

About Brain Injury

Any type of brain injury that occurs after birth is called an acquired brain injury. The two main types of brain injury are those caused by an external force and those caused by an internal force. Brain injuries caused by an external force are sometimes referred to as traumatic brain injury. Acquired brain injuries can also be caused by internal forces like stroke, tumor, or loss of oxygen.

Any damage or change in brain function caused by an external force is one type of acquired brain injury. Some external factors that can lead to acquired brain injury include

  • Falls
  • Assaults
  • Motor Vehicle Accidents
  • Sports Injuries

These injuries often happen at home, school, work, or while operating a motor vehicle. Below are resources where you can learn more about this kind of brain injury.
