Acquired BI - answer- An injury to the brain that is not hereditary, congenital or
degenerative or induced by birth trauma
TBI - answer- An alteration in brain function or other evidence of brain pathology,
casused by an external force
Mild TBI Characteristics - answer- Brief or no loss of consciousness for 0-30mins,
altered state of consciousness is most common and must be <24 hours, account for
75% of TBIs, 13-15 on the GCS, normal imaging, highest prevalence of maltreatment as
16-25% never seek care, often considered a concussion
Moderate TBI Characteristics - answer- Loss of consciousness for up to 24 hours, may
appear on scans, skull fractures and bleeding are common, 9-12 on the GCS
Severe TBI Characteristics - answer- Loss of consciousness >24 hours, 3-8 on the GCS
Likelihood of Additional Injury - answer- 1 BI increases risk of 2nd by 3x and 2nd BI
increases risk of 3rd by 8x!
Most Frequent Cause of TBI - answer- Falls
How many people sustain a BI per year? - answer- 2.5 million. 81% visit ED, 16%
hsopitalized, 3% result in death
How many people are living with effects of a TBI? - answer- 13.5 million
Likelihood of BI by gender - answer- Men are 1.4x more likely than women
Most common cause of TBI and death by age - 75+ - answer- Falls!
Most common cause of TBI and death by age - 0-3 - answer- AHT!
Most common cause of TBI and death by age - 20-24 - answer- MVAs and Firearms
Most common cause of TBI and death by age - 16-19 - answer- MVAs!
CARF - answer- Accreditation agency for post acute BI programs, residential,
outpatient, vocational, home and community, stroke and pediatric programs - ensures
quality of services through requirements for accreditation and surveys
,Joint Commission - answer- Accreditation agency for hospital based programs, may

accreditation and surveys
Olmsted Decison - answer- Supreme court case stimulated by two women living in a
nursing home in Georgia for community inclusion - resulted in federal and state
initiatives to improve and normalize community living
Model Systems of Care 1987 - answer- Resulted in research projects for TBI by the
NIDDR, established rehab facilities to provide care and complete clinical research in the
process

sleep, light sensitivity, noise sensitivity, impaired hearing, blurred vision, dizziness, loss
of balance, neurological abnormality, in attentiveness, decreased concentration, poor
memory, impaired judgment, slow proccessing speed, executive dysfunction,

normal activity, and reduction of normal activity if symptoms recur
Peristent Post Concussive Symptoms (PPCS) - answer- Symptoms of Mild TBI last >1
month, occurs 10% of the time in Mild TBI cases
Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) - answer- Often cause by repeated blows to
the head, is a progressive, degenerative condition characterized by broken nuerons
which continually release tau protein cashing dementia over time
Diffuse axonal injury -> tau protein release -> inflammation of the brain -> progressive
dementia
Define Skull - answer- Bony shell that protects the brain, has bony prominences inside
which can worsen brain injury
Cerebral Spinal Fluid (CSF) - answer- Provides cushion to nerve tissue, produced by
ventricles (4) which also store and circulation CSF through the brain
Meninges - answer- Pia Mater - molds around suclhi and gyri, deepest layer
Arachnoid Mater - spiderweb-like, middle layer
Dura Mater - hard plastic, top layer
,Nuerons vs Glial Cells - answer- Nuerons communicate electrical impulses throughout
brain while Glial cells support and nourish Nuerons
Synapse - answer- A junction between the axon of one neuron and the dendrite of
another, allows for passing of communication fro, nueron to neuron
Functions of the Parietal Lobe - answer- Sense of touch; differentiation of size, color,
and shape; visual perception; spatial perception
Functions of the Occipital Lobe - answer- Visual functions
Acquired brain injury (ABI) - answer- injury to the brain that is not hereditary, congenital,
degenerative, or induced by birth trauma
Traumatic Brain injury - answer- an alteration in brain function or other evidence of brain
pathology caused by an external force
