A brain injury disrupts normal brain function due to a sudden jolt, blow or penetrating injury to the head. It can vary from mild, like a concussion, to severe, possibly leading to long-term disability or death.
Loss of consciousness is not required. Most concussions occur without a loss of consciousness.
Tai Chi is a gentle exercise that enhances balance, flexibility and strength, especially for older adults. It can cut fall risks by 55% and improve balance by over 30%. A JAMA Internal Medicine study found Tai Chi outperformed conventional therapy in reducing falls among seniors. With slow, controlled moves and focus on body awareness, it safely boosts physical function.
A Matter of Balance reduces fall fear and boosts activity in older adults. Participants reported a 97% boost in fall prevention confidence and an 81% improvement in fall management. Falls are the top cause of injuries in older adults, affecting one in four aged 65 and older each year. Programs like this cut fall risks by promoting strength, balance and safety awareness.
