چکیده
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) can be defined as an insult to the brain from an external mechanical force that can result in temporary or permanent impairments in cognitive, functions and behaviours [1]. It is estimated that an average of 1-2 million individuals each year sustain a TBI in the United States [2,3] The physical, cognitive and behavioural limitations experienced from TBI often become chronic, impacting an individual’s daily functioning, relationships and employment [4].
