There are two types of acquired brain injuries, traumatic and non-traumatic.
Incidents like falls, motor vehicle accidents and sports injuries cause traumatic brain injuries (TBI). Internal factors like lack of oxygen or blood to the brain caused by a stroke, heart attack or aneurysm cause non-traumatic brain injuries.
