A traumatic brain injury (TBI) can occur after a bump, jolt, or blow to the head or body that disrupts normal brain function. While some symptoms may be immediately noticeable, like loss of consciousness, confusion, headache, or dizziness, other symptoms can be more subtle and may develop hours, days, or even weeks after the injury.
Brain injuries can affect many areas of function, including thinking, emotions, behavior, communication, and physical abilities. Some less noticeable signs of a brain injury may include difficulty concentrating, memory changes, fatigue, sleep disturbances, or increased sensitivity to light or noise. Other symptoms may include changes in mood or behavior, such as increased irritability, anxiety, depression, impulsivity, or difficulty managing emotions.
Because symptoms can vary widely depending on the severity and location of the injury, it’s important to seek medical guidance if changes occur after a head injury, even if symptoms seem mild. Early evaluation and appropriate treatment, including rehabilitation when needed, can help support recovery and improve function.

Balance plays an important role in everyday activities like walking, climbing stairs, and moving safely throughout the day. As we age or recover from an illness or injury, balance exercises can help improve stability, strength, and confidence with movement.
Balance training is often part of rehabilitation programs designed to help people improve mobility and reduce their risk of falls. While you should always talk with your healthcare provider about any concerns with your balance, some activities that may improve balance include:
• Standing on one foot while holding on to a stable surface
• Heel-to-toe walking
• Tai Chi, which uses slow, controlled movements
• Strength exercises to support the muscles needed for balance and stability
Always use support, such as a sturdy chair or countertop, when practicing balance exercises.

Neuroplasticity is the brain’s ability to learn, change, and adapt by reorganizing and forming new connections. After a stroke, brain injury, or other neurological condition, neuroplasticity helps the brain form new pathways that can support the recovery of lost skills.
Rehabilitation uses therapeutic activities to encourage neuroplasticity and improve movement, coordination, cognition, and communication. Repetition of task-specific activities helps the brain strengthen connections needed for everyday functions, while continued practice and engagement can support ongoing recovery and independence.
