Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) & Stroke Recover

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) refers to damage to the brain caused by an external force, such as a blow to the head or a sudden jolt. Stroke, on the other hand, occurs when blood flow to the brain is interrupted due to a clot or a ruptured blood vessel. Both conditions can lead to severe neurological impairments, affecting movement, cognition, and overall quality of life.
