Acquired brain injury (ABI) only occurs after birth and can impact the quality of life for an individual.
Whilst it can be unexpected and life-altering, a positive quality of life at home surrounded by friends and family is definitely possible.
There can be many causes of brain injury, which include:
- Falls or accidents
- Exposure to toxic chemicals
- Injury to the head
- Tumours
- Sports injury
- Stroke
- Physical violence resulting in injuries to the head
- Neurological conditions
- Strangulation, choking or drowning
- Drug abuse
These causes of acquired brain injury can further be categorised into two crucial areas, thus determining the level of care that may be required:
Traumatic brain injury
caused by a sudden impact to the head or struck with significant force
Non-traumatic brain injury
no physical trauma, but caused by strokes, tumours, neurological diseases, etc.
