Ian McFarland came to us in 2009 after a car accident left him with a traumatic brain injury (TBI) at the age of 5. Ian has been attending Project Walk and continues to come just 1 hour a week. See why 1 hour in a Project Walk program could mean the difference. (View the video below)

Definitions of TBI

What is TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury)?

A TBI is caused by a bump, blow or jolt to the head or a penetrating head injury that disrupts the normal function of the brain. TBIs can range from slight to severe and have both temporary and lifelong effects.

Types of Severe TBI

Closed - an injury to the brain caused by movement of the brain within the skull.
Penetrating - an injury to the brain caused by a foreign object entering the skull.

Effects

A TBI may lead to a wide range of short- or long-term issues:

Cognitive Function (attention and memory)
Motor function (extremity weakness/paralysis, coordination, balance)
Sensation (hearing, vision, touch)
Emotion (depression, aggression, impulse control, personality changes)
