BIA: Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Education

Filed under Emerging Media {2 comments}



Tech Sgt. Deb Decker brings us this story on Mild Traumatic Brain Injuries from the Pentagon Channel. The number of Mild Traumatic Brain Injuries has increased among service members, correlated with an increase in IED incidents. She covers signs and symptoms of this type of injury, and describes it similarly to a concussion, calling it a “brain whiplash.”

    If someone has a neural injury later in life, the extent to which their brain can regain the function of the lost tissue is minimal. While there is some recovery of function after, say, a stroke, much of that recovery has to do with resolution of brain swelling. With time and rehabilitation, some additional recovery is possible, but I certainly wouldn’t say that person is likely to return to normal after a serious injury.

     I will say that it is a good topic to study as it is helpful to the students.But the thing is that the students will have to pay attention during the class & the faculty should be good & have a high level of knowledge then only they can educate the students.
