Each year, more than two million persons sustain a traumatic brain injury in the United States. Approximately one-third of these individuals either dies or must go to hospitals and rehabilitation facilities for substantial periods of time. Survivors of traumatic brain injuries commonly suffer physical, cognitive, emotional, and behavioral abnormalities and deficiencies. Many of these individuals who survive after sustaining a traumatic brain injury require long-term care, treatment, and physical therapy. As a result of people sustaining traumatic brain injuries, economic costs are extensive, and human losses in terms of diminished economic productivity and loss of quality of life resultant of traumatic brain injuries are immeasurable.
