Physical limitations are common after a brain injury and can impact a person’s ability to perform daily tasks and activities. The extent of physical limitations will depend on the location and severity of the brain injury. Here are some common physical limitations that can occur after a brain injury:

  1. Mobility problems: A person may have difficulty with balance, coordination, or walking. They may need assistive devices, such as a cane or wheelchair, to help with mobility.
  2. Fatigue and weakness: A person may experience fatigue and weakness, which can make it challenging to engage in activities and may require rest periods throughout the day.
  3. Sensory problems: A person may have changes in vision, hearing, or touch, which can make it difficult to navigate the environment or communicate with others.

  5. Pain and headaches: A person may experience chronic pain or headaches, which can limit their ability to engage in activities and require medication to manage.

Hi, I’m Alessio Scrocco and welcome!

I came up with the idea for TBI Forums back in 2019 but I never really had the confidence to do anything about it.

After 3 years of gaining confidence, working out and listening to over 50 audiobooks on about self-development, I started TBI Forums. My reason is because I want to help other survivors thrive, do better and get better faster, as I did.

I remember when I was depressed and in my bed, I would look up ways online that I could help myself recover. I did this for about 5 years. I would even ask strangers.

They would occasionally but there were things I couldn’t ask them because they would never understand.

Who is better to ask, than another TBI survivor!
