Stroke or Cerebral Vascular Accident (CVA): a disruption of blood flow (thrombi emboli) in the brain; aneurysms; arteriovenous malformations; and intracerebral hemorrhage.
Anoxic Injury: damage to the brain due to lack of oxygen or reduced flow of oxygen.
Other Encephalopathies: damage to the brain caused by infections (e.g., meningitis, encephalitis), tumors, and metabolic disorders.

Every 21 seconds, one person in the US sustains a TBI
1.5 million Americans will sustain an TBI this year
80,000-90,000 people annually experience the onset of long-term disabilities following TBI
An estimated 5.3 million Americans-a little more than 2% of the US population-currently live with disabilities resulting from TBI

Each year 500,000 Americans are hospitalized and over 200,000 will demonstrate persistent cognitive, physical and/or emotional deficits that will prevent functioning at pre-injury levels
Males aged 15-24 and persons older than 75 years of age have the highest incidence of TBI

An estimated 15% of persons who sustain a mild brain injury continue to experience negative consequences one year after injury
Repeated mild brain injuries occurring over an extended period of time (i.e., months, years) can result in cumulative neurological and cognitive deficits
Repeated mild brain injuries occurring within a short period of time (i.e., hours, day, or weeks) can be catastrophic or fatal

“The development of the person to the fullest physical, psychological, social, vocational, avocational and educational potential consistent with his or her physiological or anatomical impairments and environmental limitations.”
Whyte & Rosenthal (1988)
![Page 25: Stroke or Cerebral Vascular Accident (CVA): a disruption of blood flow (thrombi emboli) in the brain; aneurysms; arteriovenous malformations; and intracerebral](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081516/56649e735503460f94b72d2f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
The development of a means for measuring and predicting functional outcome post-brain injury is of critical importance if realistic goals are to be formulated to assist the person to resume independence to the maximum level possible.
Outcome is defined as: “The adequacy with which a patient’s lifestyle is resumed including the efficiency with which he performs the activities of daily life” (Levin, Benton, & Grossman, 1982).

1. Identify important skills individual can do independently,
with assistance, and those that cannot be done.2. Based on abilities and disabilities identified, assist
individual to develop realistic long-term plan (include specification of discharge environment).3. Determine abilities or outcomes individual will need to achieve the plan.4. Identify long-term goals that must be met to acquire the
necessary abilities.5. Break long-range goals into specific short term objectives.6. Design a plan for assisting individual to meet objectives.7. Evaluate progress on basis of measurable outcome criteria.8. Based on regular reviews, revise Steps 1-7 as necessary.

Person-centered: individual should be included in identification and design of the treatment plan.
Supportive: plan’s design should make it very likely that the individual will succeed (especially in the early stages).
Simplicity: plan should be easy for staff and individual to understand.
Consistency: plan must be implemented as consistently as possible.
Flexibility: plan must be flexible enough to adapt to changes in the individual.
Positive: staff should discuss the person’s successes.
