Causes of a Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI)

You may have a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) – and possibly a concussion – if you have experienced any of the following:

• Unexpected fall
• Unexpectedly being struck by or against a foreign object
• Motor vehicle related injury
• Assault by another person or animal
• Collision with another player, object, or the ground while playing sports

Quanitative Electroencephalography

We use non-invasive QEEG to track and analyze brain electrical activity. Through metal electrodes, the WAVi records the brain’s reaction to stimulus such as sounds and images. We can record the brain’s state and track any changes that occur. Motor vehicle collisions can damage the brain that alters its ability to function normally. To reverse any damage caused by the collision, we can detect these changes and recommend the appropriate rehabilitation.

Cognitive Evaluation

The CDC describes cognitive impairment as impairments leading to difficulty remembering things, learning new things, concentrating, or making decisions. This affects their everyday life. Cognitive impairment can range from mild to severe and can be a direct result of injuries suffered in a motor vehicle collision. This is whether there is a direct blow to the head or not. These impairments can be recognized while doing simple tasks, like looking for the keys. However, they can worsen and progress to the point that people have difficulties performing executive and higher-level functions at home or work. Neurocognitive rehabilitation can help minimize or even reverse the effects of a traumatic brain injury once it has been diagnosed.

Posturography

Posturography is a group of tests used to assess posture, balance, and equilibrium. Problems with these normal body systems could mean an underlying neurological, vestibular, or postural issue. Often, the onset of these symptoms is a result of a concussion from a motor vehicle collision. These symptoms often go undiagnosed for days, months, and unfortunately even years! To examine and diagnose these problems, we use a sophisticated computerized balance plate. As soon as the problem is identified, we can help you to get back on track.

Concussion Treatment

Concussion rehabilitation is just as important as testing. This is why we use evidence-based protocols to get patients better in the most comprehensive, thorough and the quickest way possible so they can regain their lives.
