Answers 2023 Graded A
lost productivity - one measure of the cost to society due to injury or disease; includes
the loss of wages a person would have earned if they had not become unemployable
due to disability, loss of taxes contributing to economy, costs to the government of
supporting the individual, etc.; lost productivity costs DO NOT include cost of treatment
and support post-injury or illness
acquired brain injury (ABI) - An injury to the brain that is not hereditary, congenital,
degenerative, or induced by birth trauma
traumatic brain injury (TBI) - an alteration in brain function, or other evidence of brain
pathology, caused by an external force
traumatic impact - injuries resulting from contact (when head is struck by or against an
object)
traumatic intertial injuries - injury to the brain not caused by impact but as a result of
inertial forces, such as acceleration-deceleration forces
closed injuries - injury to the brain resulting in brain lacerations, contusions or
intracerebral hemorrhage
open injuries - injury to the head in which there is a breach of the skull or a breach of
the meninges
penetrating brain injury - any injury that involves the penetration of a foreign object,
munitions, fragment, bone chip, etc. through the dura mater
non-traumatic brain injury - damage to the brain caused by internal factors, such as
oxygen or nutrient deprivation to brain cells, exposure to toxins, pressure from a tumor
or blockage, or other neurological disorder
coup-contrecoup injury - Coup injury: head injury that results from impact of a moving
object--occurs at the site of impact
Contrecoup effect: impact injury resulting from the moving head striking a stationary
object--injury occurs at the side of the head opposite the point of impact
primary injury - initial cause of damage to the brain, from which injury severity ratings
are obtained
secondary injury - pathophysiological events that occur following the initial primary injury
to the brain
loss of consciousness (LOC) - temporary altered state, unlike sleep, when a person is
unresponsive to stimuli; usually due to trauma, stroke, or other injury
risk factors for brain injury - injury severity
age at injury
alcohol misuse
domestic violence
service in the military
participation in sports
history of prior brain injury
chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) - a condition, diagnosed after death, relative to
multiple concussions caused by significant force. A progressive degenerative disease,
CTE is most often sustained by athletes participating in contact sports; may also be
observed in domestic violence victims or abused children who have sustained
numerous blows to the head
neurogenic bladder - a secondary condition caused when a TBI affects the cerebral
structures controlling bladder storage and emptying functions
spasticity - involuntary, abnormal motor patterns; may interfere with a person's general
functioning, self-care, and mobility
activities of daily living (ADLs) - dressing, eating, showering, toileting, walking
post-traumatic immune paralysis - acute period after sustaining significant bodily
trauma, when the immune response is significantly impaired; frequently associated with
the high prevalence of potentially life-threatening infections post-injury
computed tomography (CT) - a cross-sectional series of X-rays used to view body
organs, allowing medical professionals to view the scans in multiple individual layers;
some scans can be reconstructed into a 3D image
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) - a technique that uses a magnetic field and radio
waves to create detailed images of the organs and tissues within the body
diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) - an MRI method that maps the diffusion of molecules,
primarily water, in a person's body non-invasively
acceleration-deceleration forces - sudden impact following a high velocity of speed,
frequently resulting in brain injury
