  Traumatic brain injury - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
TBI can result from a closed head injury or a penetrating head injury and is one of two subsets of acquired brain injury (ABI).
Diffuse trauma to the brain is frequently associated with concussion (a shaking of the brain in response to sudden motion of the head), diffuse axonal injury, or coma.
The overall goal of rehabilitation after a TBI is to improve and optimize the patient's ability to function at home and in society in the face of the residual effects of the injury, which may be complex and multifaceted.
