Aging & Traumatic Brain Injury
by Dr. Martin Waalkes
Aging and Brain Injury will review characteristic cognitive and health changes that accompany normal aging - and brain injury contributes additional challenges. Age-related factors influence the course of brain injury characteristics over lifespan, and should be considered a chronic disease due to the complications that are expressed over time. The relationship of brain injury and aging is examined along with strategies to mitigate the negative influences.
