every 22 seconds one person in the United states  sustains a head-injury.
An estimated 5.3 American a little more then 2% of the population lives with a disability resulting from a brain-injury..Many of the survivors are adolescent and young adults who have extensive residential deficits often resulting in a loss in social network and friendship. Each year in Massachusetts over 32,500 people receive emergency room treatment for a traumatic brain-injury. Annually over 500 die. More then 50,000 people die each year as a result of traumatic brain-injury. About 5.3 million Americans a little more then 2% of the population lived with a disability resulting from a brain-injury
SOB (survivors of brain-injuries) was started in March of 2004 by voluntary groups of multidisciplinary clinicians to meet the needs of young adults with brain-injuries. it is a community group that meet mouthy to provide social and recreational activities in a support environment.

Every year over 51,000 Massachusetts  residents sustain a Traumatic brain-injury most often in automobile crashes and fall.it can happen to anyone and no two brain-injuries are a like.If you or a love one notice issues with memory loss, concentrating, finding words, or controlling your temper   you may have had a traumatic brain-injury and benefit from The State Wide head-injury program

An external cause of a traumatic brain-injury is due to a blow or a jolt to the head from an external fiscal force brain function can be disrupted by a bad brain-injury in a motor vehicle crash and a very serious fall, gunshot, or assaults with a weapon . Soldiers may sustain a brain-injury from an explosion or a shock wave These kind of events may result in significant cognitive behavioral or social challenges . some examples of brain-injury that is not externally caused and unfortunately will not meet  the state wide head-injury program criticizer are strokes lack of oxygen and brain tumors
.

You know there is a old saying that the general public do not know about head-injury they do not know about disability  either until a disability cause by a brain-injury happen to them then they would know. Now I am a guy that had to live with my disability  all of my life and I kind of was left out of most activities growing up  do to my disability like skiing, skating, and some other sports too.  But thank God that I still have a lot of function with my left arm and my left leg too I had always had function with my left side but my right leg and right arm are partially paralyze. But thank God I can walk holding on to the handle of a four prong cane with my very strong left hand when my strong left arm is moving with my four prong cane my very, very, strong left leg would move too and my right leg would follow. When I am sitting in my wheelchair and have my seat belt on I would just pull my wheelchair with my very, very, strong left leg and thank God some one had a Idea to event   a four wheel motor scooter and a electric wheelchair so I could drive them..Because I still have great function on my left side of my body I have to focus when I am walking holding the handle on my four prong cane and concentrate too and of course I must wear my baseball helmet on my head and strap it on too. When you are a disable individual like I am you are more likely in isolation some time. But I could go to more places now that I have got a four wheel motor scooter and a manual wheelchair and of course a good very strong left leg too.
