Brain InjuryAn acquired brain injury (ABI) is any damage to the brain that happens after birth and is not caused by a condition you are born with or a disease that gets worse over time. There are two types of acquired brain injury: non-traumatic brain injury and traumatic brain injury. |
Non-Traumatic Brain Injury (nTBI):Caused by internal events or substances, such as strokes, aneurysms, brain tumours, infections, or lack of oxygen. |
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI):Caused by an external force, such as a blow, bump, or jolt to the head. Examples include falls, vehicle accidents, sports injuries, or assaults. |
Brain Injury & ConcussionA concussion is an acquired brain injury, and is often referred to as a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). The term mild does not diminish the impacts that concussion can have on your health and activities of daily living. To learn more about Brain Injury & Concussion visit Brain Injury Canada. |
