7. open injuries: injury to tℎe ℎeadin wℎicℎ tℎere is a breacℎ of tℎe skull or a breacℎ of tℎe meninges
8. penetrating brain injury: any injury tℎat involves tℎe penetration of a foreign object, munitions,
fragment, bone ℎip,
c etc. tℎrougℎ tℎe dura mater
9. non-traumaticbrain injury: damagetotℎebraincausedby internalfactors,sucℎ as oxygenor nutrient
deprivationto brain cells, exposureto toxins, pressurefrom a tumoror blockage,or otℎer neurologicaldisorder
10. coup-contrecoupinjury: Coup injury: ℎead injury tℎat results from impact of a moving object --occurs at
tℎe site of impact
Contrecoupettect:impact injury resulting from tℎe moving ℎead striking a stationaryobject--injury occurs at tℎe side of
tℎe ℎead oppositeℎe
t point of impact
11. primary injury: initial causeof damageto tℎe brain, from wℎicℎ injury severityratings are obtained
12. secondaryinjury: patℎopℎysiologicaleventstℎat occurfollowingtℎe initial primary injury to tℎe brain
13. loss of consciousness(LOC): temporary altered state, unlike sleep,ℎen
w a person is unresponsiveto
stimuli; usually dueto trauma,stroke,or otℎer injury
,14. risk factors for brain injury: injury
severity ageat injury
alcoℎol misuse
domesticviolenceservice
in tℎe military
,participationin sports
ℎistory of prior brain injury
15. cℎronic traumatic encep ℎalopatℎy (CTE): a condition,diagnosedafter deatℎ, relativeto
multipleconcussionscausedby significant force.A progressivedegenerativedisease,CTE is mostoftensustainedby
atℎletes participating in contactsports; may also be observedin domesticviolence victims or abusedcℎildren wℎo ℎave

16. neurogenic bladder:a secondaryconditioncausedwℎen a TBI attectstℎe cerebralstructurescontrolling
bladder storage and emptying functions
17. spasticity: involuntary,abnormalmotorpatterns;may interferewitℎ a person'sgeneralfunctioning,self-care,
and mobility
18. activities of daily living (ADLs): dressing, eating, sℎowering, toileting, walking
19. post-traumaticimmuneparalysis: acute period after sustaining significant bodily trauma,ℎen w
tℎe immuneresponseis significantly impaired;frequentlyassociatedwitℎ tℎe ℎigℎ prevalenceof potentially
life-tℎreatening infections post-injury
20. computedtomograpℎy (CT): a cross-sectionalseriesof X-rays usedto view bodyorgans,allowing
medical professionalsto view tℎe scans in multiple individual layers; some scans can be reconstructedinto a 3D image
21. magnetic resonanceimaging (MRI): a tecℎnique tℎat uses a magnetic field and radio waves to
create detailed images ofℎet organs and tissues witℎin tℎe body
22. diffusion tensor imaging (DTI): an MRI metℎod tℎat maps tℎe dittusionof molecules,primarily
water, in a person's body non -invasively
23. acceleration-decelerationforces: sudden impact following ℎigℎ a velocity of speed, frequently
resultingin brain injury
24. intracranialpressure(ICP): Pressureinsidetℎe skull fromtℎe brain andCSF. Pressuremay vary due
to production and absorption of CSF following injury.
25. subdural ℎematoma(SDℎ): bleedinginto tℎe spacebetweentℎe dura materand tℎe aracℎnoid

27. diffuse axonal injury (DAI): brain injury occurring wℎen tℎe wℎite matter tracts are stretc
ℎed and
broken, resulting in extensive, widespread damage
28. ℎypoxia/anoxia: decreasein/absenceof oxygengettingto tℎe brain; results in cell deatℎ
