27 year TBI survivor here from a bad car wreck on 3/31/97... I was in the hospital 26 days and in Physical Therapy 18 months... I struggle with repeating myself,poor multitasking skills,poor short term memory loss etc... Post TBI I attempted and failed at several careers-( Special Education Teacher,Car Salesman,911 Radio Dispatcher) The combination of TBI issues,PTSD issues and career failures led to increased depression,anxiety and suicidal thoughts... I FINALLY have a somewhat decent quality of life... I FINALLY received SSDI-( Social Security Disability Income ) after 15 years,4 appeals and 3 attorneys... I now drive part time for a car dealership and build model cars as a hobby... These activities give my life meaning,help me deal with my TBI and PTSD issues,and improve my self esteem...
Here are some questions from a colleague who has knowledge of this area: Do they like listening to music? Can they tell differences between tone, pitch etc. Do they play an instrument? Are they able to do any part of what they could do before. Let me know your answers and I will try to get you some suggestions.
He is not the same person he was before the accident, but he is doing well. He is working and living well. He is a wonderful young man. His very supportive family was critical for his success.
My niece is currently 6 weeks post diffuse axonal injury level 2. We are currently looking for a rehab but, unfortunately, having insurance issues. Could you please explain the difference between a neuro rehab and rehab that states the treat TBIs.?

after brain injury to my husband he is in coma in one week . He can forget that accident .and after incident he got short term memory loss even 2 min also not remembering anything.max how much time to recovery .to cure?at that time I'm 8th month pregnant.i have a 15 days baby now .,but still he is telling I'm 8 th month , it's to pain full for me . May I know how much time to reduce this short term memory?loss?
It is hard to say because it is different for different people. To help him now, make sure he gets brain breaks. We have a video on the Utah Neuro Rehabilitation You Tube channel on brain breaks. We also have one on improving memory after brain injury. Could he get cognitive therapy?
@@elpimpi7135 no still he facing lot of variations with him. Remembering problem, how my life before now totally reverse. When God will open his eyes on me.
Jeremy initially could not walk. He then began walking with a lot of assistance. He had physical therapy which helped a lot. His family also worked with him each day to practice walking. Take a look at two other videos on the Utah Neuro Rehabilitation You Tube Channel: Brain Plasticity to Improve Function and Daily Steps to Recovery.
I know this is an old video but i need this help for my 26 year old son. We are trying so hard with him.
eat 30 grams of lambs brain every single day for a couple of years and look up and eat paleomedicina diet

@@UtahNeuroRehabilitation

@@rileyswof3433 how are you now
How is he now? Is he the same person like he was before the accident?
He is not the same person he was before the accident, but he is doing well. He is working and living well. He is a wonderful young man. His very supportive family was critical for his success.
@@UtahNeuroRehabilitation I'm happy for him. But also very very very sad because a close person to me died because of traumatic brain injury💔🥺

Neuro Rehab is a broad term. They may treat TBI also. You really want someone who is experienced in working with brain injury survivors.
