Nearly 125,000 Americans are disabled every year due to traumatic brain injuries, which can result from such varied events as a bump, blow, or jolt to the head, a penetrating head injury, or an explosive blast.
From veterans to car crash survivors, the road to recovery for some of them is made more difficult because of social isolation and an overall feeling of dependency that can last long after an injury, depending on its severity.
