You’ve read that traumatic brain injury (TBI) only makes up 8-10% of workers’ compensation claims, right? But did you know that when one occurs you almost always have to set aside an 80% reserve….and the longer a mild TBI goes undetected, the higher the cost. TBIs are often missed because there was no blow to the head, or >80% of people who sustain a TBI never seek care; maybe they only fell or had a spill on their bike. Yet there may be vague symptoms, possibly physical, cognitive and psychological, that you can detect if you understand the causes of TBI, the anatomy and physiology of the brain and how various systems and lobes work together or not, resulting in things you can recognize if you are aware and understand.
