A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is an insult to the brain caused by an external physical force with or without skull fracture that may produce a diminished or altered level of consciousness.  On an annual basis in the United States, approximately 1.5 million people will sustain a traumatic brain injury (TBI).  According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), in the United States, 50,000 people will die annually as a result of TBI.  Men are about 1.5 times as likely as women to sustain a TBI.  Annually, TBI causes long-term disabilities in 80,000 people.  Concussion, coma, or even death can result from a TBI.  Falls (28%), vehicle accidents and crashes (20%), and assaults (11%) are the most common causes of traumatic brain injury.
