Rehabilitative therapy is a preventative measure for sufferers of a traumatic brain injury from a car accident. When a victim follows a prescribed rehabilitative program, it may help in avoiding future complications such as:
Blood clots;
Pressure ulcers;
Pneumonia;
Muscle weakness;
Bowel and bladder issues;
Problems with sexual function; and
Pain.
Rehabilitation may help some victims return to their previous lifestyles. However, more serious sufferers of a TBI may need care for the rest of their lives.
