Brain injury rehabilitation can begin at any stage, from immediately following the injury, to months or even years later. Some individuals, well enough to return home, may require only outpatient services, or other forms such as vocational rehabilitation to support their return to work. Many people require residential brain injury rehabilitation for six months to a year or more to achieve the best outcomes.
Each year in England, around 2,770 people require a period of neurorehabilitation following a brain injury. Initial inpatient rehabilitation after a brain injury often takes place within the first six months, usually in a post acute rehabilitation hospital.
When it comes to a brain injury, people can experience a range of symptoms that can significantly affect their lives. In the majority of cases, the more severe the brain injury and damage to the brain tissue, the more severe the long-term impact is likely to be. Some people experience complex problems which can affect their mobility, understanding, personality, behaviour, emotions, and close relationships. People may also experience significant fatigue, memory loss, and cognitive deficits, requiring treatment from occupational therapists, speech therapy and physiotherapy.
A brain injury can put people at an increased risk of long-term neurological disorders such as dementia.
Traumatic brain injuries are caused by localised and sudden damage to the brain and brain tissue, often resulting from a road traffic accident, a fall, an assault, or incidents related to work or sport. A traumatic brain injury (TBI) can cause localised brain damage and may also impact a range of functions.
Acquired brain injury (ABI) describes damage that has occurred since birth. An acquired brain injury can be both traumatic and non-traumatic, such as those occurring due to a brain tumour, anoxic brain injury (following a myocardial infarction), or encephalitis. An acquired brain injury can be caused by a stroke or a traumatic brain injury.
Brain tumours involve the growth of abnormal cells within the brain or the central spinal column. These tumours can be classified as either primary, originating directly within the brain, or secondary, which are metastatic tumours that have spread from cancers located elsewhere in the body. Common symptoms may include headaches, seizures, difficulty with coordination, memory problems, and changes in sensory perception.
