What else can I help you with?
Traumatic brain injury may occur after which of the following?
significant impact to the head & rapid acceleration/deceleration of the headBOTH A and C
What can occur from a traumatic brain injury?
Significant impact to the head and rapid acceleration/deceleration of the head
What events may occur after traumatic brain injury?
Significant impact to the head AND Rapid acceleration/deceleration of the head
What events can result in traumatic brain injury?
- Significant impact to the head - Rapid acelleration/deceleration of the head
What events can cause traumatic brain injury?
Types of incidents that can cause Traumatic Brain Injury TBI can include:Shaking a young baby or child - "Shaken Baby Syndrome" - often fatal in babiesViolent shaking of an adult, especially if the person has little control over their head / neck, example: disabled personSlip and fall when the head strikes a hard surface and rapidly goes from moving to impact.Traffic Accidents, even at slow speedsBeing struck on the face or chin with a closed fist. Example: Domestic violence. In fist-fights and brawls-- "One punch kill" refers to fights when one person only threw one punch and kills the victim.Sports injury, especially in football, soccer, basketballWartime head injuries
How hard do you have to get hit in the head to lose memory?
Concussion, a mild traumatic brain injury, can cause memory loss when the brain experiences sudden acceleration-deceleration forces from a blow to the head. The severity of memory loss can vary depending on the force and location of impact. It's important to seek medical attention if you experience memory loss after a head injury.
What impact did Phineas Gage's personality changes have on his life after the traumatic brain injury?
Phineas Gage's personality changes, following a traumatic brain injury, had a significant impact on his life. He became impulsive, irritable, and unable to hold a job or maintain relationships. This led to a decline in his social and occupational functioning, ultimately affecting his overall quality of life.
How fast would i have to be traveling upon impact for a 2005 dodge caravan airbag to deploy?
It is not dependent on speed alone. It is mostly based off of acceleration or deceleration rate. You could be parked and hit by a large truck and the airbags could go off.
What is hitting your head at 15 mph?
Hitting your head at 15 mph can cause significant trauma, potentially leading to concussions or more severe brain injuries. The impact force can result in bruising, lacerations, or skull fractures, depending on the surface and angle of impact. Even at lower speeds, the brain can experience acceleration-deceleration forces that may lead to lasting cognitive or physical effects. It's essential to seek medical attention if such an injury occurs.
What are some traumatic things that could happen to child?
Some traumatic experiences that could happen to a child include physical or emotional abuse, neglect, witnessing violence, natural disasters, accidents, or sudden loss of a loved one. These events can have a significant impact on a child's mental and emotional well-being, leading to issues such as anxiety, depression, or post-traumatic stress disorder.
If you crashed your 4WD into a tree without seat belts on and drove away should you be worried about your mental well-being?
If you crashed your 4WD into a tree without seat belts on and drove away, yes, you should be worried about your mental well being. The above example is a scenario in which Tramatic Brain Injury is caused. Damage to the brain resulting from external mechanical force, such as rapid acceleration or deceleration, or impact can cause "shearing" of the brain tissue. The initial injury can present as a mild concussion to a more disabling traumatic brain injury. This injury may not present until hours or days after the incident, so being "worried" or seeking medical help is appropriate. TBI is usually the name given to the brain injury which is sustained *not* from penetration of the skull or brain, but from the rapid acceleration, deceleration or impact, such as in Shaken Baby Syndrome, another cause of TBI, which can be fatal.

What does an air bag do to the acceleration of the person as they land compared to hard ground and how does this change the net force on the person as they land compared to hard ground?
The airbag reduces the deceleration experienced on impact. In terms of acceleration, this means that the airbag has lowered the rate at which the downward acceleration decreases.If a falling person hits solid ground then their velocity goes from high to zero almost instantaneously. This means that the downward acceleration has changed very quickly. The airbag increases the time in which it takes the velocity to fall to zero. This is the same as saying it reduces the deceleration.Of course an airbag has the additional benefit of being soft relative to the ground, but simply considering acceleration/deceleration, reducing this lessens the harm done to the person. A high rate of acceleration/deceleration by itself can cause death/serious injury as a person's internal organs rupture due to the sudden collision with the other parts of the body (bones for instance). An airbag is helping by reducing the rate of change of the downward acceleration to a more survivable level. The force on the person is therefore lowered on "landing".
