Soldiers and Traumatic Brain Injury

Almost anyone can suffer brain injury. Babies who have been shaken or dropped can be victims of it. Children playing sports can be victims of it. Adults who have been in a fight can be victims of it. Elderly who have fallen can be victims of it. Traumatic brain injury occurs when someone’s brain experiences a force that causes it to hit the inside of the skull.

One subgroup that is especially prone to traumatic brain injuries is soldiers. In a warzone soldiers are exposed to a variety of dangers. They face air attacks, land attacks, sea attacks, and surprise attacks. They may also face explosions, loud noises, gunfire, and flying objects. A lot of these dangers can lead to TBI because they can cause an individual’s brain to be damaged.

An explosion, for example, might cause a solider to go flying into the air. When the soldier hits the ground forcefully, her or his head might hit the ground as well and the brain will get injured. Or an explosion may cause shrapnel or something else to go flying into the air. Those objects might hit a soldier in the head, also causing a brain injury.
