Brain injury is a very serious social and medical health injury that directly impacts on the social and political economy that exceeds $57 billion dollars annually and rising. Each year, an estimated 1.5 million people in the U.S. sustain a traumatic brain injury, and 135,000 people in Australia. These figures don’t include other injuries including cuts, bruising, broken noses etc. The impact on their families and caregivers is immense. Head injuries, resulting from falls, are among the most serious form of injury which can lead to death and one of the main causes of nonfatal injuries that limit independent living among people 65 years and older.
