Can Damaged Brain Tissue be Replaced?
The idea of replacing damaged brain tissue is both intriguing and, at the same time, seemingly implausible.
Though brain injuries usually lead to a range of physical, cognitive, and emotional issues, every person who incurs a brain injury experiences a unique set of symptoms as well as both short-term and longer-term outcomes.
Neurologic Physical Therapy in Recovery from Brain Injury
Stroke, spinal cord injury, and traumatic brain injury are common diagnoses treated by neurological physical therapists (PTs). The course of treatment varies widely based on the severity of the injury and the potential for recovery. For example, a mild stroke, called a Transient Ischemic Attack, may require no therapies.
Perspectives on Classification of Brain Injuries
The medical care and medical research fields have traditionally classified brain injuries as either Acquired Brain Injuries (ABIs) or Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs).
