Article Synopsis
- Traumatic brain injury (TBI) affects 50 million people annually, leading to significant costs and necessitating extensive hospital care and rehabilitation, impacting patients' quality of life.
- A review of 146 articles highlights that rehabilitation relies on neuroplasticity and the use of advanced technologies—like AI, virtual reality, and robotics—improves recovery outcomes.
- Individualized and early rehabilitation strategies, with a focus on interdisciplinary care and effective communication with families, are essential for optimizing treatment results for TBI patients.
Cerebrovascular accidents (CVAs) often occur suddenly and abruptly, leaving patients with long-lasting disabilities that place a huge emotional and economic burden on everyone involved.

The most important factor determining the prognosis of CVA patients is time, specifically the time from the onset of disease to treatment.
