Abstract
Approximately 1.5 million to 2 million traumatic brain injuries (TBI) occur each year in the United States with an estimated incidence rate of 100 per 100,000 persons (NIH Consensus Development Panel on Rehabilitation of Persons With Traumatic Brain Injury, 1999). Of those, males are injured at approximately twice the rate of females and 70,000 to 90,000 individuals are left each year with long-term disabling deficits. The majority of these injuries occur to persons who are of working age. Thus, deficits associated with TBI can persist for decades and result in a significant loss of income or earning potential, costly lifetime expenses, inability to function in the community, and devastating changes in marital, family, and social relationships.
