48% of spinal cord injuries and
falls cause 21% of spinal cord injures.
Brain Injuries
Traumatic brain injuries, can leave the
victim debilitated. Blunt trauma to the
skull or prolonged lack of oxygen, or
the anoxic brain injury can have severe
and/or life threatening consequences.
With traumatic brain injury, the victim's
brain may bruise or tear, while anoxic
brain injury causing parts of the brain
to die from lack of oxygen creating life
long difficulties. Traumatic
Brain Injuries
1.Tearing
- The sudden impact of the body colliding
with another
object.
This can
occur from such traumas from sports
injuries, auto accidents, or falls.
2.
Bruising - The collision between the
tissue and
the skull may rupture
small
blood vessels creating pressure
on the brain tissue. This pressure may
cause
parts of the brain to stop functioning.
Collisions
are a common cause of such injuries. Anoxic
Brain Injuries
Anoxic
brain injury occurs when the brain is
deprived its oxygen
as a
result of
comma, drowning, choking, strangulation,
or respiratory
problems.
