Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) has increasingly affected combat service members as the injuries sustained in combat have continued to evolve. TBI can result affect the physical, psychological, sensory, and many other functions of service members during and after combat. However, the symptoms are easily misdiagnosed for other conditions, or missed completely. The purpose of this assignment is to determine the many ways one might sustain a TBI, looking at a specific region of the brain, and exploring appropriate treatment and management interventions that would assist in eliminating barriers in daily life functioning.
