This [[trauma]] can lead to temporary or permanent [[impairment]]s of cognitive, physical, and psychosocial functions, and an associated diminished or altered state of [[consciousness]] ((Traumatic Brain Injury Center. (n.d.). Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Retrieved May 1, 2012, from http://www.cdc.gov/traumaticbraininjury/)). Although there are still contradictions regarding the clinical significance of the term "[[head injury]]", it can not be considered synonymous with [[traumatic brain injury]]. traumatic_brain_injury_definition.txt Last modified: 2024/06/07 02:49by 127.0.0.1
