Brain Injury Support Group
Traumatic brain injury occurs when a sudden trauma causes brain damage. TBI can result from a closed head injury or a penetrating head injury. Symptoms of a TBI can be mild, moderate, or severe, depending on the extent of the damage to the brain. Outcome can be anything from complete recovery to permanent disability or death. A coma can also affect a child's brain.
Would appreciate feedback from families and injured folk of any physical deterioration post injury, like some years gone by, long after physio, exercises etc abandoned. Despite being active we are noticing misalignment issues, crookedness over time.Your experiences appreciated if this has occured to your loved one or self. Thanks.

with even being active you are not using certain muscles. so either call his old theripst and ask for some excersize ideas to help correct or stop this problem. if my hubby goes a few weeks without certain excersizes i see a big difference. hugs and good luck

i have an altered face from my injury. it seems like i have nerve damage on the right side of face. my right eye , the skin around eyeball, tends to droop, even more as the day goes on. when i get my headaches, the expression on my face changes to.the more severe the pain the uglier i become. the doc tells me they are migraines.

Well, as an aspiring physiotherapist and a personal trainer for 5 years now. There should be no reason for the muscle deterioration besides lack of use. Are there any neurological conditions as a result of the injury that prevent movement or anything like that. I was weak from being in a coma for a month, but other than that, I had no physical deterioration from my brain injury. Sorry I couldn't have been more help to you. Good luck, God Bless.

Also, make sure any training or physical activity you do is balanced and you will have a balanced result, does that make sense?
